A new Gallup survey is reporting a mixed picture of how American teenagers feel about homosexuality. The survey, conducted from December 2005 to January 2006, reports that 51% of the 546 teenagers polled, ages 13 to 17, approved of same-sex marriage, while 55% approved of civil unions.
But the teenage respondents seemed fairly conservative when asked about the nature of homosexuality: Nearly six in 10 believe that being gay is "nurture" rather than "nature," a position at odds with that of many gay rights activists. However, as a whole, the teenagers were more liberal on gay issues than adults who were polled on similar topics. In a May 2004 survey, for instance, only 49% of adults supported civil unions. The margin of error for the teen survey was four points. (Sirius OutQ News)
