A 25-point gap now separates supporters and opponents of marriage equality in California, with 59 percent of residents backing same-sex marriage and just 34 percent opposing it, a new Field survey finds. This represents “the largest margin of support for the issue in the three-plus decades the Field Poll has been asking the question” and shows a big increase for marriage since voters approved Proposition 8 in 2008. Significantly, support increased among all groups, including Protestants, Catholics, African Americans, Latinos and older Americans and pollsters say that opponents of marriage would have a difficult time overcoming the trend should the measure go back to the ballot:
Poll Director Mark DiCamillo said the move to a 25-point gap goes beyond the gradual increase in support that has been expected as young voters age and “replace” older voters in the electorate. “This is now showing that opinions are changing irrespective of generational replacement,” DiCamillo said. “This is real change.” [...]
DiCamillo said voters still hold the judiciary in relatively high regard, and years of gay marriage court battles in California are likely contributing to the opinion shift. “The winds of change are blowing in other states (and) when judges start ruling the same way, I believe that has an influence,” he said.

Hopefully the voters in Maryland will also see this as a positive for our state.
If this was true then why do they oppose letting the voters decide? Gay marriage was voted down by the people in California the most liberal state in America.
Next will be the legalization of pedophilia movement... Same people different gripe.
What's the positive? Kids thinking its OK to be gay? The high medical bills the state has to pick up for an increase of sexually transmitted disease ? The high divorce rate?that's just the start of the negative list.jump back into the closet with your computer sister mister.reality is much clearer in there!
How in the world would gay marriage increase sexually transmitted disease? Think you got that backwards.
It's obvious that 12:48 doesn't get out much.
300pm.....Because it promotes the idea that homosexuality is ok, thereby even more acceptable when not married, and the highest rate of STD is from homosexuality.
4:14, the highest STD rate is not among homosexuals. If you took a moment and did a search you would know that heterosexuals win the award. But youre not going to do that because you are clearly invested in perpetuating the myth that gays somehow destroy society ... When hetereosexuals have been doing it all along. Of course what more could I expect from someone using a word like "thereby".
Would you be OK if your eight year old boy was caught kissing other boys? Or even sexually experimenting with other boys? Those gays are flamboyant and make out in public.not all but some.it needs to be/ stay a crime
The percentage of STD infections have more than doubled in the sate of Delaware in the gay community.
Gays don't use protection as much as hedro sexuals because of the lack of fear of unwanted pregnancies.a man can't get another pregnant.
Gays tend to also have more partners even while in a relationship with another.I.e group sex threesomes etc.
The person that says straight people spread more disease was half correct. Its the straight I.v drug users that spread more. I'm not saying straight people don't spread disease.
Use the internet folks.type in your search engine the actual question. You will receive the stats.
Normanjfisher08@ gmail.com . Can't put my info on for some reason.so ill add my name to ensure it gets published since last time I sent this my name wasn't added to it and it didn't post.
12:48 gets out plenty and is the only straight child of three.my siblings are gay.why? They'll flat out tell you because Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen degenerate. My sisters watches these people come out the closet and say its OK to be gay.so they being the followers they were followed. My sisters will be quick to tell you that most gays are extremely jealous and fight alot.they break up and have more sex.or they will bring in multiple partners.hell at the club the bounce around kissing and going home in groups.
Only good thing about the gays in my mind is their economic contribution. No kids to take care off.lmao.they drive nice cars usually and have nice clothes and love to shop!
Of course they will.all the gays are flocking to the states that allow it.eventually the gays will have the say because they'll out number the straight people.its all a bunch politics.this person hates this person blah blah....how bout we go back to segregation. Certain states for gays certain states for Muslims for whites blacks cop lovers etc.lmao.
12:38, that's completely ignorant and unrelated. I would expect that kind of comment from an idiot such as yourself. As for 12:48, I can't take your reply seriously due to the numerous grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors. Go back to school and become educated (more ways than one). Is there ANY intelligent life on the Eastern Shore?
Try again.all words spelled correctly. And dude your not one of those guys that dispute the facts are you? As for punctuation .....come on its a blog site.not a term paper. People short hand/type all the time.if your gonna argue a point...your the one who needs an education!
1:26- I have a Master's Degree. By the way, it's you're (contraction for you are). Your is used in phrases like "your opinion." It's, not its (contraction for it is). I'll give you a passing grade this time, but barely. Later!
Thanks teach! Lmao
