USA - Support for Gay Marriage drops

A new national survey released a few days ago by the Associated Press/GfK found that support for same-sex 'marriage' has collapsed. Since the Supreme Court ruling, support for SSM has dropped by 6 points and opposition has increased by 4 points — a combined 10 point movement in public opinion. That is an astonishing degree of movement in such a short period of time!

The AP survey found that 42% of Americans support same-sex 'marriage' while 40% now oppose it. Statistically, that is a dead heat. Just this past April, supporters of SSM enjoyed a 12 point advantage, 48%-36%. Since the Supreme Court decision imposing gay 'marriage' in every state, we're now in a whole new ballgame.

I am so encouraged by the public reaction to the illegitimate decision of the Supreme Court because it means that NOM's five-point plan to contain and then reverse it has a real chance of capturing the support of the American people.

There's even more good news in this incredibly important survey from the Associated Press. First, a plurality of the American people tell the pollsters that they are opposed to the US Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that imposed SSM on the nation. Only 39% of Americans support the decision, while 41% are opposed to it.

By overwhelming majorities, the people of our land believe that no business should be forced to participate in a same-sex 'marriage' ceremony against their will. 59% of Americans say that wedding-related businesses should be able to refuse service if it violates their religious beliefs.

And there is even more — 56% of Americans say that the government should act to protect religious liberty rights of traditional marriage believers, while only 39% of Americans believe the government should protect the rights of gays and lesbians when there is a conflict with someone who supports traditional marriage.

Wow! Talk about a sea-change in public opinion.

We couldn't ask for a better situation to contain and eventually reverse the decision of the Supreme Court. You see, our top two priorities are electing a pro-marriage champion as president, and passing the First Amendment Defense Act that will protect supporters of marriage against discrimination by the federal government.

It's clear that the American people will be with us if we are able to implement our plan.
