A new poll by Angus-Reid shows Americans split on same-sex marriage. The split 43%-47% in favor of traditional marriage shows a correlation between those that have family or friends that are LGBT, in that those that do seem to favor more equality in granting some legal protections to same-sex unions. Those polled that are single, divorced or split also tend to favor equality higher than married participants. The poll also suggest a correlation between the percentage of folks that believe being gay is a choice(47% answered yes) and those opposed to same-sex marriage(47% answered yes).
So for those of you that are LGBT and want equal rights, it looks as those you may want to speak out and tell your stories!
