    Really unfair to deny gay couples the tax-breaks heterosexual couples get. Not so sure where I stand with adoption my views evolutionised, I used to be dead against it, now just uncomfortable, but that's nasty. Homosexual couples should get all the benefits

    Nice results, it only covers a small part of the Netherlands but only 2% is opposed to equal rights for gays. In the area covered a significant part of the population is of non-western descent (read muslim), we are doing just fine here I think. 86% of the overall population has no problem with it at all, two% are deeply opposed, the remaining are neutral on it. Faith in humanity restored

    edit, made a tiny mistake, 7% is against gay marriage, of which 2% are against homosexuality alltogether.

    What percentage are against marriage?
    What percentage are in a defacto relationship?

    For instance if 7% of the population are against marriage then the stance against gay marriage is the same.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    7% are against gay mariage, of which 2% are against homosexual behaviour alltogether. That is not bad at all I think. It's not representative for the whole country though, it's was conducted in a really small area. I would like a national survey on this one as regions in the Netherlands are culturally completely different, someone from the south can't even understand what someone from the north is saying, that different

    I should I care how gay people are gonna raise children? I don´t like children anyway, I don´t want any...let them have them.
    as long as they teach them to be quiet in cinemas, and airplanes I´m cool with it.

    Don't know where I stand, it screams in my face but I can find no reason to be against it without making a fool out of myself. Counterintuitive as it may be, I decided to agree with gay marriage and adoption as the reality allready proved me wrong as there is no problem at all. I have been somewhat stupid on this, mea culpa
