POLLS ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE: FROM MARK MILLER: (posted by Eve)

Maggie, you make an interesting point about Andrew Sullivan's comments on the USA Today poll. First, he did not misquote the poll. The adding of the two categories does represent those who are not opposed to gay marriage.

But your message is clear and accurate--in order to gain support against gay marriage, you need to persuade the next generation that it would further erode a culture of marriage.

Yet your explanation that the poll results is affected by mainstream media being too liberal is simply false. If the media had an effect on gay-rights, then why is the majority of all Americans against any gay-rights? Also, why does the liberal bias of the media mainstream only affect younger people?

Finally and most importantly, most of the 'intelligent' support of same-sex
marriage is based on 'conservative' ideology. Dale Carpenter, Jonathan Rauch, Andrew Sullivan, and Norah Vincent are all considered 'conservatives'. Are they not?
