A new UCLA survey shows more bad news for the Christian Right and its pandering whores and sycophants in the Republican Party. It's yet more proof that the GOP is committing a slow form of long term suicide as it continues to swear sole allegiance to anti-gay generations that are literally dying off while the younger generations are trending toward full LGBT acceptance. Here's the summary of the study's findings:
An unprecedented 71.3 percent of incoming college students indicated that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status, compared with 64.9 percent in 2009, a remarkable 6.4 percentage-point increase over a two-year period. While support for same-sex marriage is highest among female students and those who identify as liberal, a significant amount of conservative students (42.8 percent) and an increasing number of male students (64.1 percent in 2011 vs. 56.7 percent in 2009) expressed support for this issue."Among students entering college, we're seeing a more unified support for same-sex marriage that reaches across political party lines," said John H. Pryor, lead author of the report and director of CIRP. "Given the influence of young voters in the last presidential election, candidates may want to pay careful attention to the student perspective on these and other civil rights issues."
