63% of Americans Say Same Sex Marriage is a Constitutional Right


Yet another poll underscores the fact that the Christofascists are losing the war over marriage equality.  A CNN poll that looked at a number of issues, including Barack Obama's approval levels and support for the Affordable Health Care Act , found the following:
63% of Americans say that gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry and have their marriages recognized by the law as valid. That's up from 49% in August 2010. Over that time, the share who see marriage as a constitutional right has climbed 15 points among Republicans to 42% and 19 points among Democrats to 75%.
These findings coupled with the growing belief even among Republicans that opposition to same sex marriage is NOT acceptable in a GOP presidential candidate ought to be striking terror in the hearts of anti-gay Christofascist who have been making a lucrative living peddling anti-gay hate and opposition to marriage equality.   I can almost hear the shrieking and whining in the offices of Family Research Council, the American family Association, and the National organization for Marriage.  God forbid, these folks may yet have to find real jobs.
