That is factually incorrect. The majority of the population support marriage equality.
- TylerE 13y agoDepends on how you define population. If I were to gamble on it, I would expect a (rather high) margin in opposition, with support rates highly correlated to education levels.
- dllthomas 13y agoMajority of which population?
- eeky 13y agoMajority of people - so the world population.
- dllthomas 13y agoYeah, I understood that's what you were talking about, from other comments - I was wondering which rmc was speaking of. As to world population, I'm not sure you're correct (but also not at all sure you're incorrect). Yes, Russia and much of Africa and certainly the Middle East can be assumed to be majority opposed, but I'm not sure about Asian countries and that's a lot of people. Much of the west is obviously trending against you.
- eeky 13y agoYeah it could shift eventually, big countries like Brazil have recently supported same-sex marriage at the federal level.
