    Article snip:

    WASHINGTON — Americans have become significantly less accepting of homosexuality since a Supreme Court decision that was hailed as clearing the way for new gay civil rights, a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll has found. After several years of growing tolerance, the survey shows a return to a level of more traditional attitudes last seen in the mid-1990s.
    Asked whether same-sex relations between consenting adults should be legal, 48% said yes; 46% said no. Before this month, support hadn't been that low since 1996. (Related item: See poll numbers)

    In early May, support for legal relations reached a high of 60%-35%.
    I don't know if this poll is good or not.
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

      I find it very odd how news agencies and politicians use "traditional values" as a euphemism for bigotry and intolerance.

        61% of Brits are in favour of gay marraige.

        Then again, I've seen the obnoxious amounts of religious propaganda on US TV.

          Gays don't bother me in the slightest, and by extension, neither does Gay marriage.

          Polls are just statistics, and can be used to reflect anything.

                          Prairie dogs, not chipmunks. Close.
