Last week, The Gallup Poll reported that support for gay rights is at its highest point in three decades, and New Hampshire became the latest state to allow civil unions for same sex couples. Nearly 90 percent of Americans believe that gay people should have equal rights in terms of job opportunities, 60 percent of people believe that same-sex relations should be legal, 57 percent believes that homosexuality should be considered "acceptable", and support for marriage for same sex couples has risen to 46 percent from 27 percent a decade ago. Support for gay and lesbians is highest among those who understand the science that sexual orientation is innate and those who attend church "nearly weekly/monthly" or who attend less often or never.
