Growing support at home

The I-35 bridge across the Mississippi in Minneapolis is sporting some cool new lighting.



The Detroit News has a front page article on a new poll taken in the state of Michigan. Support for same-sex marriage is now at 56.8%. 54% are willing to vote for a repeal of the amendment that bans marriage equality and replace it with an amendment permitting marriage equality. That's quite a contrast to 2004 when the ban was voted in with 59%.

That report has left commenters questioning the accuracy of the polls. Michigan has a legislature dominated by the GOP who are enacting anti-gay measures every chance they get. Other commenters note the difference between statewide votes and polls and votes in gerrymandered districts.
