Slim majority back gay marriage, Post-ABC poll says - The Washington Post Five years ago, at 36 percent, support for gay marriage barely topped a third of all Americans. Now, 53 percent say gay marriage should be legal, marking the first time in Post-ABC polling that a majority has said so. “This is very consistent with a lot of other polling data we’ve seen and the general momentum we’ve seen over the past year and a half,” said Evan Wolfson, president of Freedom to Marry, a leading pro-gay-marriage group. “As people have come to understand this is about loving, committed families dealing, like everyone, with tough times, they understand how unfair it is to treat them differently.” Opponents of same-sex marriage took issue with the poll, which asks respondents: “Do you think it should be legal or illegal for gay and lesbian couples to get married?”

At the 9th Circuit courthouse in Pasadena, where two large flat-screen televisions stood on the plaintiffs' and defendants' tables in Courtroom 3, a small group of gay-rights advocates gathered to hear the disappointing news that they would not be watching the trial. Lynette Sperber of Sherman Oaks, who had driven to the courthouse with her gay son's longtime partner, was distressed by the news. "It's obviously a disagreement between the 9th Circuit and the Supreme Court on bringing television or live video into a federal courtroom," said Jesse Choper, a constitutional law scholar at UC Berkeley. "We all have superiors, and even though we may act reasonably, sometimes the people who are your superiors say, 'No, not while you are working for me.' It's just that simple.
