A new poll from LifeWay Research - a Christian polling firm connected to the Southern Baptist Convention - shows 58 percent of American adults agree same-sex marriage is a civil rights issue and 64 percent believe it is inevitable same-sex marriage will become legal throughout the United States.
Other findings in the poll:
• 63% believe clergy should be allowed to refuse to officiate over same-sex weddings. (That percentage jumps to 74% for people who identify as “Born Again, evangelical, or fundamentalist Christian”
• 58% believe photographers should be able to reject gay couples (in contrast, 72% of fundamentalists do).
• 40% believe rental halls should be able to refuse to book same-sex weddings (compared to the 57% of fundamentalists who feel that way).
• 20% believe landlords should be able to reject gay tenants and 14% said employers should be able to discriminate against homosexuals.
