A year after Tennessee voters passed a constitutional amendment to support traditional marriage, the majority of state residents — 66 percent — continue to oppose same-sex “marriage,” according to a recent Middle Tennessee State University poll. Among evangelicals, opposition to same-sex “marriage” is at 91 percent.
Gay-activist groups are upset by the overwhelming support for traditional marriage.
Jeff Johnston, gender issues analyst for Focus on the Family, said he is encouraged by the poll results.
“It’s heartening to know that, despite years of rhetoric by gay activists, the people of Tennessee believe the truth," he said, "that God designed marriage to between a man and a woman.”
