Homosexual Relations Between Consenting Adults

Forty-nine percent of Americans say homosexual relations between consenting adults should not be legal, compared with 46% who say they should be. These results, obtained in the Jan. 9-11 poll, have changed dramatically over the past year. In early May 2003, 60% of Americans said homosexual relations should be legal. This percentage dropped to 50% in mid-July, following the Supreme Court decision that struck down a Texas sodomy law. The public has been evenly divided on this issue since the court's ruling.
