Poll by anti-gay Christian group shows widespread support for gay rights

The survey, run by the Southern Baptist Convention’s polling arm, LifeWay, found that a majority of Americans believed that “homosexuality is a civil rights issue like gender, race and age”.

The Southern Baptist Convention has been heavily critical of efforts towards equal marriage, and also against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act...

The poll found that 64% of respondents agreed that “it is inevitable that same-sex marriage will become legal throughout the United States,” while 80% disagree that employers should be allowed to discriminate based on sexual preference.

58% of those polled agreed that, “like age, race, and gender, homosexuality is a civil rights issue,” and “more Americans do not believe homosexual behavior is a sin than those who believe it is a sin.”
