Gay marriage opponents don’t know they’re on the wrong side of public opinion

What happens when a vocal minority thinks it’s a silent majority?

According to a new survey by the Public Religion Research Institute, only 41 percent of Americans oppose allowing same-sex couples to marry. But that same 41 percent has a highly skewed perception of where the rest of the country stands: nearly two-thirds of same-sex marriage opponents erroneously think most Americans agree with them. And only two in 10 same-sex marriage opponents realize that the majority of Americans support marriage equality. CONT.

    It is wrong for this push Gay marriage is wrong, you don’t have to be religious to see two men in the same bed to understand that’s wrong. when I was a child we use to call them something else. now that I am older it is gay wow. take me back gay was happy ? it is a choice if not every one will be gay. it is my choice to love a woman and not a man or a woman and a man. get with it stop pushing this mess on the people. please send me the email to take your survey and I can pass it on all of my friends. stop being one side
