I watched the reactions from those oh so tolerant liberals in Detroit when ever the subject of gay marriage came up. Now maybe you think all the bumperstickers and church signs I read crying that marriage should only be between a man and women screams freedom for gays. But I would have to disagree with you.
Sure if you ignore all the data and draw your rationalizations from vague anecdotes, you can pretend that your vote isn't going to oppress homosexuals. However, you can't expect the rest of us to pretend with you. I'm about to knock this one down just like dcnovice did the last one. Have an even vaguer anecdote to change the subject with?
So on to the numbers, just like last time what you're actually doing in noticing the Republicans and pretending they're Democrats.

But, without question, most of the split in numbers is along political party lines. Sixty-nine percent of Democrats support same-sex marriages compared to 44 percent of Independents and only 25 percent of Republicans.
Among those opposing same-sex marriage, 70 percent are Republicans and only 25 percent are Democrats. Forty-six percent are Independents. The fight to move Independents into the “for” and “against” columns, will continue with vigorous debate.
Our exclusive statewide poll commissioned by our Michigan media partners in Grand Rapids, Detroit, Flint and Lansing, was conducted May 17 – 20. Twenty percent of the respondents answered questions on their cell phones. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.
