Tolerance for Gay Rights at High-Water Mark


Here's the results of an interesting Gallup Poll (http://www.galluppoll.com/content/?ci=27694). I am sure the fundies are NONE too happy with this. It seems to indicate that the late Jerry Falwell, Daddy Dobson and the other leaders of the "Christian Taliban" in the USA are not winning the so-called culture war after all. I like this finding:

A similar pattern is seen with attitudes about whether homosexuality should be sanctioned as an acceptable alternative lifestyle. Only 34% in 1982 believed it should be considered acceptable. This expanded to 54% in May 2003, only to drop to 46% two months later. Today's 57% is the highest on record for this measure.
