Nope, but its funny that 98% of the supporters of gay marriage are gay. Jealous???? not hardly. sympathetic to sick people? yes.
You've made some ridiculous statements, but that's gotta be in the top 5.
Same-Sex Marriage Support Reaches New High at 55
The key to that poll lies in its opening statement ...
support for the law recognizing same-sex marriages as legally valid
Which simply means they recognize the validity - had I myself been polled I would have polled in favor of its legal validity - that doesn't mean they recognize its sanity - in addition the article title ....
Same-Sex Marriage Support Reaches New High at 55%
cites a two year climb from 53 - 55% - anybody who knows anything about statistics and polling is well aware that 2% is statistically insignificant
In addition , even f it were significant - which it is not - any experiment or observation that involves drawing a sample from a population, there is always the possibility that an observed effect would have occurred due to sampling error alone
Actually- anyone who knows statistics knows that you can't claim that that 2% is insignificant without looking at the statistics involved.
Gallup tells us the statistical margin of erro
For results based on this sample of national
adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
So roughly speaking that range would be between 51% and 59% approval.
People like yourself tend to ignore statistics they don't like, claim statistics say something that they don't and then crow about statistics that they do like.
Right now support for 'gay marriage' is roughly where support was for mixed race marriages in about 1996.
And we know how that trend has continued.
It's hard to believe those numbers when California voters approved of a ban on gay marriage by popular referendum. When it was struck down in court, they passed another referendum adding a ban to gay marriage to the California constitution. Yeah, Blue State California. Compare this to New York who pulled some shady tricks to pass gay marriage in the middle of the night before any opposition could be mounted to it. And that was the legislature, not a popular movement, so they canhardly be seen as representing the people in doing that. When it comes to the laws that are backed by popular support, gay marriage is trumped by those who want to preserve what real marriage is.
When did Alabama voters decide it was time to eliminate Alabama law against mixed race marriages? 2002- and it won by a whopping 59% of the vote.....meaning 41% of Alabama voters didn't think the law should be repealed.
What you are upset about is that there is a sea change in attitudes towards homosexuals and marriage in the United States- and you are more and more in the position of the Alabama voters who still reject mixed race marriages.
In 2012, Washington voters voted 54% to 46% to legalize same gender marriage.
Also in 2012, Maine voters voted 52% to 46% to legalize same gender marriage.
Also in 2012, Maryland voters voted 52% to 48% to legalize same gender marriage.
What were the others results in 2012?
Minnsesota voters voted down a ban on gay marriages- 53% to 47%
North Carolina was the only state that was able to get a majority of voters to vote against gay marriage in 2012.
No one believes that Prop 8 would pass in California today, no matter how much money the LDS poured into the State.
The times they are a changing.
And those who oppose marriage equality for homosexual couples are being left behind like the couples that opposed marriage equality for mixed race couples.
