Studies have shown that those who personally know someone who is gay, lesbian, or bisexual are more apt to support marriage equality.

Do you know someone who is gay, lesbian or bisexual?
Are they a son, daughter, nephew, niece, goddaughter, godson, coworker, mentor, past teacher, etc?

With that said, are you for marriage equality?

Maybe that study was accomplished by someone who was gay or lesbian, or perhaps one who knows a gay or lesbian person? Also, as far as I know there is not such thing a "marriage equality." Maybe there is some sort of "equality" in a married couple? There isn't a "same-sex marriage," since the definition of "marriage" has not been changed to the union of two men, or two women. It's still defined as the union of a man and a woman.

Yes. I need to know to correctly vote.

I support civil unions for same-sex couples.

One minute people want the government out of their bedrooms and say who they have sex with is no concern of the government -- the next thing they want the government back in their business, blessing their sex lives. Why not just keep the government out of it?
