Significant New Poll Supports Gay Marriage

The newest ABC News/Washington Post poll shows strong public support for gay marriage to the extent that it exceeds the strongest opposition by a significant margin for the first time. Adding to that African-Americans have finally moved more in favor of marriage equality hopefully taking their lead from Obama on this issue. The margin is 53 % of Americans say gay marriage should be legal. The interesting part is our visibility. In America 71 % now say they have a friend, family member or acquaintance who’s gay, up from 59 % in 1998. People who know someone who’s gay are 20 points more likely than others to support gay marriage. We need the African-American support which is up to 59 % in this survey that support gay marriage. That’s up from 41 % last year & 65 % support Obama’s new position on the issue. As we reported the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) announced its support for gay marriage last weekend. Now the homophobic stats of course come from Republicans & conservatives that oppose gay marriage by more than 2-1 & evangelical white Protestants by more than 3-1. Democrats however continue to support marriage equality by more than 2-1. So it comes down to 58 % support legalizing gay marriage & 43 % do so strongly. Just stop using the Karl Rove term ‘same-sex’ & watch marriage equality become a reality. Updates to Come…:)
