Three out of four Arizonans support the right of gays to at least form civil unions, if not to wed outright.
A new statewide survey finds 45 percent of the 870 voters surveyed in the last week find nothing wrong with gays getting married. That finding is in line with prior statewide polls done by other organizations.
But what is a surprise is another 32 percent said while they cannot support the idea of “marriage” for same-sex couples, they believe there should be allowed to form civil unions that provide many of the same legal benefits and recognition. And of particular note is the fact that includes more than half of those who said they voted for Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race.
