    Interesting Data on Same-Sex Marriage

    The UUs didn't surprise me, but the Catholics certainly did! More than 2:1 in favor. (source)



    Note the the Unitarians were the only group where nobody had no opinion.

    And the fine print at the bottom says --

    * Sample size is less then 100. Results should be interpreted with caution

    Source, American Values Atlas 2014.



    But hey, anything to make the public think it is acceptable and as natural as the rocky mountains..

      Unitarians, yes, but my experience is we are rarely at a loss of for an opinion. The total sample size for the whole survey is 40,571.

        God created us in his image. Apparently, part of his image is gay.... If you believe that God created you in his image, who are you to opine that he didn't create your gay neighbor in his image as well?

                  Follow the link Keith provided, genius. Or just actually examine the chart.

                  Some 40,000 people were surveyed. The asterisk applied to the number of Unitarian/Universalists interviewed.

                  "They have a lot of stupid people that vote in their primaries. They really do. I'm not really supposed to say that but it's an obvious fact. But when stupid people vote, you know who they nominate? Other stupid people." -- James Carville on the plethora of low-quality GQP candidates in the mid-term election.

                    Interesting how it breaks down by race.

                      The Mormons are hard-core too, also Evangelical Baptists (what a surprise).

                      Hey, what happened to Hanley? I didn't think he'd be the sort to get banned.

                      The racial differences are interesting, as is the difference between Hispanic Catholics and Hispanic Protestants (who tend to be evangelical and quite conservative). Overall, things have come farther in the past ten years than I would ever have believed.

                      And Ron, whether same-sex marriage is a good idea or not, homosexuality is most certainly every bit as natural as the Rocky Mountains.

                        Mormons, Baptists, Jehovahs Witness...
                        No surprises there, it is interesting how much credibility they get.

                          I was raised Presbyterian and was pretty heavily involved in my church through high school. Afterwards I drifted away and no longer consider myself religious or of faith. But I have to say I took a bit of pride when the Presbyterian Church (USA) formally allowed same-sex marriages last month. It didn't surprise me as the people I grew up in church with were extremely considered and progressive. But it was good to see. It's also what frustrates me when people bang on about the bad old Christians as though Christiandom is some monolithic entity.

                            The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
                            Personal failures are too important to be trusted to others.

                              I've been very surprised at the................ Not only nonacceptance of, but denial of homosexuality in the community here... It's only "deviant Europeans who bring that disease to these islands" is the standard verse.
