POLL: Support for gay marriage reaches record high

This is not good:

ABC NEWS – A week before a closely watched U.S. Supreme Court hearing on the issue, public support for gay marriage reached a new high in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, with 61 percent of Americans – more than six in 10 for the first time – saying gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry legally.

Identical or similar majorities favor gay marriage on two key issues before the court: Sixty-one percent oppose allowing individual states to prohibit same-sex marriages. And 62 percent support requiring states to recognize gay marriages performed legally in other states.

Other attitudes have moved in tandem. In ABC/Post polls last year, 65 percent said that being gay or lesbian is the way people are rather than the way they choose to be, up 16 points from 1994. Sixty-one percent also supported allowing gay couples to adopt children, up from 29 percent in 1992, and 78 percent said gays “can be as good parents as straight people,” up by 21 points from 1996. Eighty-one percent said business should not be allowed to refuse service to gays and lesbians; 65 percent said so even if the business owners object on religious grounds. (At the same time fewer, 50 percent, saw gay marriage as a constitutional right; 43 percent did not, with the rest unsure.)

Gallup did a poll last December on religion in American and almost 75% of Americans identify as Christian, with 50% identifying as Protestant and 24% identify as Catholic:

So I think it’s fair to say that of that 61% of Americans who support gay marriage, a significant portion of them are Christians. That is horrible.

There is no debate on this in the Bible. God is clear that homosexuality is a sin and many Christians are going against Him on this if these polls are correct. Of course we know they are.
