Hey faggots, I'm still confused. Help me out here. Didn't you
faggots say that the tide has changed and that EVERYONE is accepting
faggots now, and that only a few minor bigots won't accept? Didn't
you say the majority of people are accepting ***** behavior? I don't
understand this article, I am very confused. Why is it that faggots
can only be accepted by imposing their will on other people and
seeking out sypathetic judges to change laws for them? How come they
can't take their case to the 'majority public' in the voting booths?
Surely if EVERYONE is accepting faggots now, they should EASILY get
these laws passed on the ballots!! Why is it that 38 states now have
a consititutional ban on ***** marriages if the majority of the
voters want otherwise? Help me out here...

Strong Support Is Found for Ban on Gay Marriage

The latest New York Times/CBS News poll has found widespread support
for an amendment to the United States Constitution to ban gay
marriage. It also found unease about homosexual relations in general,
making the issue a potentially divisive one for the Democrats and an
opportunity for the Republicans in the 2004 election.

Support for a constitutional amendment extends across a wide swath of
the public and includes a majority of people traditionally viewed as
supportive of gay rights, including Democrats, women and people who
live on the East Coast.

Attitudes on the subject seem to be inextricably linked to how people
view marriage itself. For a majority of Americans - 53 percent -
marriage is largely a religious matter. Seventy-one percent of those
people oppose gay marriage. Similarly, 33 percent of Americans say
marriage is largely a legal matter and a majority of those people - 55
percent - say they support gay marriage.

The most positive feelings toward gay people were registered among
respondents under 30, and among those who knew gay people.

The nationwide poll found that 55 percent of Americans favored an
amendment to the constitution that would allow marriage only between a
man and a woman, while 40 percent opposed the idea.

The findings come after the highest court in Massachusetts ruled 4 to
3 last month that same-sex marriage was permissible under the state's
Constitution. That ruling followed a 6-to-3 decision in late June by
the United States Supreme Court striking down antisodomy laws.

President Bush had been noncommittal about a constitutional amendment
immediately after the Massachusetts ruling, with the administration
worried that support for a ban on gay marriage would alienate moderate
voters. But last week Mr. Bush for the first time voiced his support,
saying, "I will support a constitutional amendment which would honor
marriage between a man and a woman, codify that."

The statement signals the White House's increasing confidence that it
can exploit the matter in the presidential campaign, both to energize
its evangelical supporters and to discredit the eventual Democratic
nominee.

Most of the Democratic candidates oppose gay marriage but favor civil
unions. Howard Dean, who is leading in the polls for the Democratic
nomination, signed a law when he was governor of Vermont allowing
civil unions, an action that Republicans have already used to portray
him as too liberal for mainstream America.

The court rulings generated extensive publicity and concern, not only
about same-sex marriage but also about having the courts set social
agendas that have not been approved by the legislative process.

"We have found that the more people focus on it, the less they support
it," said the Rev. Lou Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values
Coalition, which strongly opposes gay marriage and is working actively
for a constitutional ban.

The Times/CBS News poll was conducted from Dec. 10 through Dec. 13 in
telephone interviews with 1,057 people. It carries a margin of
sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. Responses
about gay rights tend to be influenced somewhat by the wording of the
questions.

This poll and other surveys show that as the courts have extended
legal rights to gays this year, Americans have become increasingly
uncomfortable with same-sex relations.

For decades, a majority of Americans have not approved of homosexual
relations. That had begun to change, until the Supreme Court ruling in
June and the Massachusetts ruling in November. A New York Times/CBS
News poll conducted in July found that 54 percent of respondents said
homosexual relations should be legal. Only 41 percent of the
respondents in the latest poll said they should be legal.

Richard Waters, 71, a retired elementary school teacher in Little
Valley, N.Y., and a Republican, said in a follow-up interview to the
poll that he strongly supported a constitutional amendment banning gay
marriage.
