Same-sex relations get record-high approval

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say same-sex relations between
consenting adults should be legal—the highest percentage ever recorded
by Gallup.

Researchers found that 64 percent of American adults
supported the legality of gay relations, an issue that Gallup has
included in surveys since 1977.

In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court's Lawrence v. Texas decision struck down state antisodomy laws that had been used to criminalize homosexual activity.
