__**Statistics on Public Support Vs. Opposition for Gay Marriage**__

Gay Marriage has recently been gaining acceptance among the public. Results from a recent survey from the Pew Research Center show that the percentage of Americans who support Gay Marriage and Americans who are against Gay Marriage are almost even. The survey, which was conducted in late February 2011 shows that 45% of Americans say that gays and lesbians should be allowed to get married. That is an 8% increase since 2009, and a 27% increase since 1996. However 46% of Americans are still against Gay Marriage. An 8% difference since 2009, and a 19% difference since 1996.
