As recently as five years ago, more opposed (48%) same-sex marriage than supported it (42%).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2015\/06\/08\/support-for-same-sex-marriage-at-record-high-but-key-segments-remain-opposed\/6-8-2015-11-24-28-am\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20058263\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/06\/6-8-2015-11-24-28-AM.png\" alt=\"Support for Same-Sex Marriage Rises Across-the-Board, Partisan Divide Persists\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the highest level of support measured for same-sex marriage in nearly 20 years of Pew Research Center polling of the issue.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet even as support for same-sex marriage has increased among nearly all segments in the public, some groups remain broadly opposed to gay marriage. <em>(See <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2015\/06\/08\/same-sex-marriage-detailed-tables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">detailed demographic breakdowns<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2015\/06\/08\/graphics-slideshow-changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">long-term trends on same-sex marriage<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pew Research Center survey, conducted May 12-18 among 2,002 adults, finds that partisans are as divided on this issue as ever: Today, 65% of Democrats and an identical percentage of independents favor gay marriage; only about one third (34%) of Republicans do so. Growing shares of all three groups support same-sex marriage, yet the differences between Democrats and Republicans are as wide today as they were a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2015\/06\/08\/support-for-same-sex-marriage-at-record-high-but-key-segments-remain-opposed\/6-8-2015-11-25-24-am\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20058264\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/06\/6-8-2015-11-25-24-AM.png\" alt=\"Partisans Agree: Legal Recognition \u2018Inevitable\u2019\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, with same-sex marriage legal in 36 states (and the District of Columbia) and the possibility of a Supreme Court decision on its nationwide status, Republicans (72%) are just as likely as Democrats (72%) and independents (74%) to say that it is \u201cinevitable\u201d that same-sex marriage will be legally recognized.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fault lines on the issue of same-sex marriage extend beyond party. Other substantial cleavages include race, generation, religious beliefs and familiarity with people who are gay or lesbian.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As is the case with other demographic groups, African Americans have become more supportive of same-sex marriage over the last decade. However, overall views are mixed: 51% of blacks oppose gays and lesbians marrying legally, while 41% are in favor. Majorities of whites (59%) and Hispanics (56%) now favor same-sex marriage. The racial differences in these opinions largely persist even when taking into account other factors, such as age, religious affiliation and attendance at religious services.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key component of the shifting attitudes on this issue is the strong support for gay rights among younger Americans. Younger generations have long been more accepting of homosexuality and of same-sex marriage than older generations, and as Millennials (who are currently ages 18-34) have entered adulthood, those views have influenced overall public opinion.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2015\/06\/08\/support-for-same-sex-marriage-at-record-high-but-key-segments-remain-opposed\/6-8-2015-11-25-48-am\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20058265\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/06\/6-8-2015-11-25-48-AM.png\" alt=\"Current Views of Same-Sex Marriage\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly three-quarters of Millennials (73%) currently favor legal recognition, with fully 45% saying they <em>strongly<\/em> favor it. A more modest majority (59%) of Gen Xers (ages 35-50) also support same-sex marriage, while opinions among Baby Boomers (ages 51-69) are divided (45% favor, 48% oppose); among those in the Silent Generation (ages 70-87), just 39% favor same-sex marriage, while 53% oppose.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the strongest factors underlying views of same-sex marriage is religion, and the sense that homosexuality is in conflict with one\u2019s religious beliefs. White evangelical Protestants stand out for their deep opposition to same-sex marriage: Just 27% favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry, while 70% oppose it (43% <em>strongly <\/em>oppose); by contrast, majorities of both Catholics (56%) and white mainline Protestants (62%) support same-sex marriage, along with an overwhelming majority (85%) of the religiously unaffiliated.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And among the one-third (33%) of Americans who feel there is a lot of conflict between their religious beliefs and homosexuality, opposition to same-sex marriage outweighs support by more than two-to-one (70% oppose, 27% favor); fully 76% of those who see no such conflict favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2015\/06\/08\/support-for-same-sex-marriage-at-record-high-but-key-segments-remain-opposed\/6-8-2015-11-26-04-am\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20058266\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/06\/6-8-2015-11-26-04-AM.png\" alt=\"More Support for Gay Marriage Among Those with Many Gay Acquaintances\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But just as religious objections undergird much of the opposition to same-sex marriage, personally knowing people who are gay or lesbian is strongly linked to support for the legal recognition of same-sex marriages, as many people who have changed their minds on this issue stated in a <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2013\/03\/21\/gay-marriage-changing-opinions\/\">2013 Pew Research Center survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new survey finds that nearly nine-in-ten Americans (88%) know someone who is gay or lesbian, with 28% saying they know \u201ca lot\u201d of gays or lesbians. These percentages are little changed from two years ago, but in 1993 a smaller majority (61%) said they knew someone who is gay.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2015\/06\/08\/support-for-same-sex-marriage-at-record-high-but-key-segments-remain-opposed\/6-8-2015-11-26-35-am\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20058267\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/06\/6-8-2015-11-26-35-AM.png\" alt=\"More Opponents than Supporters View Same-Sex Marriage as Very Important\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, about three-quarters (73%) of those who say they personally know a lot of gays and lesbians favor same-sex marriage. A majority (59%) of those who know no gays or lesbians oppose same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, 54% of the public views the issue of same-sex marriage as at least somewhat important, but just 30% say it is very important. Those who oppose gay marriage (38%) are more likely than supporters (27%) to view the issue as very important.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intensity about same-sex marriage is high \u2013 and about equally so \u2013 among those on the ends of the ideological spectrum: Four-in-ten conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats say the issue is very important.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while 45% of those with a lot of gay and lesbian acquaintances rate this issue as highly important, only about quarter of those with fewer gay acquaintances say the same.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;other-findings&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"other-findings\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Other findings <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2015\/06\/08\/support-for-same-sex-marriage-at-record-high-but-key-segments-remain-opposed\/6-8-2015-11-26-55-am\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20058268\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/06\/6-8-2015-11-26-55-AM.png\" alt=\"Republicans Dissatisfied with Party\u2019s Handling of Same-Sex Marriage \" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partisans rate their parties. Most Republicans and Republican leaners (57%) say their party is not doing a good job of representing their views on same-sex marriage, and the party draws criticism from those on both sides of the issue.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By contrast, 62% of Democrats and Democratic leaners say their party is doing a good job of representing their views. Democratic supporters of same-sex marriage rate their party much more positively than do Democratic opponents.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Most say gay person\u2019s sexual orientation cannot be changed. <\/strong>\u00a0Six-in-ten Americans (60%) say a gay or lesbian person\u2019s sexual orientation cannot be changed; just 33% say it can.
