It's not misleading in the least It’s possible for something to be both true and misleading - the 70% figure makes the situation sound worse than it really is,

  > the 70% figure makes the situation sound worse than it really is, IMO. The situation is bad, IMO, when the majority of European nations don't allow gay marriage. It's a grotesque travesty.

    Seems like getting 30% of countries in the EU (and thus 90% of the population) to legalize it is a great use of resources. You keep harking on about the 70% number, and maybe that works with a certain demographic of people but it reads as pretty transparent here. 90% of the EU living in countries that respect Gay marriage is a great thing, and is the most concentrated acceptance of gay marriage in the world. But hey, boo Europe!

    Of all the things to grind an axe about "European nations", this is a pretty strange one, considering European countries have absolutely always led the way on this issue, providing limited rights to same-sex couples in the 1970s, same-sex civil unions in the 1980s, and full same-sex marriages half a generation before the US Supreme Court finally got around to removing bans in the USA a mere two years ago. What was that about a grotesque travesty? > the majority of European nations don't allow gay marriage The majority of American nations don't either.
