65% of Americans reject gay-affirmative lessons in grade school

A recent national research survey has found that 62% of American adult respondents believed that “marriage should be defined only as a union between one man and one woman.” Fifty-three percent of the respondents strongly agreed, while only 35% disagreed, reports LifeSiteNews.com.

The survey, sponsored by the Alliance Defense Fund and completed by Public Opinion Strategies May 16-19, was part of a comprehensive examination of American attitudes toward marriage. In addition to the national survey, which surveyed 1500 U.S. adults, the research included 14 focus groups completed across the country.

“Americans recognize that marriage provides a strong foundation for a thriving society,” said ADF Senior Counsel Brian Raum. “The union between husband and wife benefits society - especially children - in unique ways that cannot be duplicated by any other relationship.

“Throughout history, diverse cultures and faiths have recognized this universally defined ideal as the best way to promote healthy, natural families for the good of future generations,” he said.
