Same-Sex Marriage Gains Support in California

Most Californians now favor allowing same-sex marriage, according to a poll released yesterday. It was the first such result in more than three decades of polling by the Field Poll, said poll director Mark DiCamillo. The telephone survey was conducted in the days after the California Supreme Court handed down its ruling legalizing same-sex marriage in the state. Barring a stay of the ruling, same-sex couples will be able to wed beginning June 17, according to a state directive issued yesterday.
