New Poll: 47% Believe Being Gay is a Choice

A poll of 1,001 American voters has found that almost half believe being gay is something people choose. The research found that 47 per cent of respondents thought homosexuality was a choice, while 46 per cent opposed gay marriage. It was carried out by polling institute Angus-Reid. Fifty-three per cent of respondents in this poll approved of the measure, while 37 per cent were opposed and ten per cent were undecided. Marriage was more contentious, with 46 per cent opposed to full equality. Forty-three per cent were in favour while one per cent were unsure. The respondents who were most in favour of gay marriage tended to be cohabiting, single or widowed people. Married, separated and divorced people were less in favour.
