I think the latest poll had 51% of Americans rejecting homosexuality in society. Basically tied with the MoE. Hardly the fringe though.
Got a documented cite? And please, don't even try to pass of some lunatic "Family Research Council" crap.
I had O'Reilly running in the background at 5, so that's where I got the 51% number.
By the way, I
support gay marriage (actually, I want the government out of marriage - leave that to the churches).
Anyway, I did a quick Google and found this:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/polls/vault/stories/data081303.htm36. Would you favor or oppose a law that would allow homosexual couples to legally form civil unions, giving them some of the legal rights of married couples?
Oppose - 58%
38. As you may know, the Episcopal church has given its bishops the option of allowing clergy to bless the committed relationships of gay or lesbian couples. Do you approve or disapprove of this decision?
Disapprove - 60%
39. (ASK IF RESPONDENT HAS A RELIGION) Now thinking about your own religious faith or denomination, would you approve or disapprove of giving local churches the option of blessing committed relationships of gay or lesbian couples?
Disapprove - 63%
40. (ASK IF RESPONDENT HAS A RELIGION AND ATTENDS CHURCH AT LEAST A FEW TIMES A YEAR) If the church you regularly attend decided to allow blessings of gay or lesbian couples, would you (continue to attend that church) or would you (look for another church to attend?)
Look for another 47%
