Americans oppose coerced participation in gay marriages

Polls show majorities side with Indiana’s Christian pizzeria

Surprising, but maybe it shouldn't be.

A Marist poll taken just last month found that 54% of those polled, including a 47% – 45% plurality of Democrats, agreed with “allowing First Amendment religious liberty protection or exemptions for faith based organizations and individuals even when it conflicts with government laws.”

The story continues,

The margins were even larger in opposition to laws that proposed “penalties or fines for individuals who refuse to provide wedding-related services to same sex couples even if their refusal is based on their religious beliefs.”  … 

[A]according to Marist, Americans oppose penalties on businesses like Memories by a 65-31 margin. 

The margin among Democrats: 62-34 against.

And there's this.

Indiana pizzeria closed.
