Quote:Wheres the question that they ask about it being moral or immoral? I didn't see that one. 

 

As for the 67% I'm not trying to say they all disapprove, just that they're views on it being moral or immoral are probably constant. Morals IMO are something that people don't change that often, certainly not in a short 7 year period. The change is in what role they think government should play in the decision. The religious people for example don't all the sudden view it as not-sinful, and there is still a pretty big sector of the population that are religious (just about all the religions view homosexuality as a sin).

 

That said MANY of the religious people that view homosexuality as a "sin" still support legislation making it lawful for homosexuals to have the same equal access to marriage as everyone else. That's not changing their mind about it's not sinful or immoral.

Look on page 1 towards the bottom, where it says "Next I'm going to read you a list of issues..." The question asked in that poll is whether gay and lesbian relations are morally acceptable or morally wrong. That poll shows that the fundamental change is in people's attitude towards the morality of homosexuality. That is what has driven the change in their attitude towards gay marriage. The change in peoples attitudes towards the morality of it, and in their attitude towards gay marriage, are in sync with each other.
