Only 69% support gay marriage? That's wild.
Nice
I mean the 69, not the 31% bigots
IIRC interracial marriage didn't get more than 50% support until the late 90s. In general public support lags behind progressive lawmaking.
That in addition to more 'nuanced' opinions on it. Does "Sure 'they' can do whatever they want, but none of my children are allowed!" count as support or not? It probably gets counted as support/opposition depending on what the poll asker wants, if they even get that granular.
Also, does "support" mean they support it being legal or support it happening? You can be in favor of it being allowed without agreeing with people doing it.
