1 in 5 Gay & Lesbian Leaders Not Interested in Marriage
I get bi-weekly emails from Gay & Lesbian Leadership SmartBrief. Sometimes I don’t read them right away, so I missed my chance to vote in their latest reader poll. So add one to the results, which show nearly 20% of self-identified leaders are not interested in marriage.
Given what we know about American demographics, it’s likely that a much, much higher percentage of average gay and lesbian people are also not interested in marriage. I’m all for everyone having the right to marry, but I’d be delighted to see more resources flowing towards securing other rights: health care, economic security, housing, etc!
The poll question: Where will you get married? The results:
| In my state, when it’s legal. |  63.29% |
| I’m not interested in marriage. |  18.68% |
| Massachusetts |  8.96% |
| Iowa |  5.44% |
| Vermont |  3.63% |
