Poll: Ohio Reverses On Gay Marriage

Residents of Ohio, in a reversal, now favor gay marriage.

A Saperstein poll, released Sunday, showed that 54 percent of Ohioans now support a new amendment, which would repeal the state’s 2004 measure banning gay marriage and “allow two consenting adults to marry, regardless of their gender,” The Columbus Dispatch reported.

Only 40 percent oppose the new proposal, which, according to the newspaper, would allow religious institutions freedom to choose whether they’ll marry certain couples and protect them should they refuse to preform the marriages.
