By Josh Haggis
According to a survey by the Public Religion Research Institute, most Americans now support gay marriage.
53 percent of those asked were in favour of gay marriage, which is up from 32 percent in 2003.
Support among religious groups has also increased. Jewish groups support gay marriage with a whopping 83 percent majority, according to the survey, while Roman Catholics support it by a majority of 53 percent.
Same-sex couples are still banned from marrying in 33 states in the US.
The survey covered 4,509 Americans and was funded by the Ford Foundation.
Meanwhile, the first same-sex marriages in England and Wales are set to take place on March 29.
To celebrate the occasion, Attitude is publishing its first ever bookazine. Titled Love and Marriage, it will provide every bit of information on how to plan the perfect wedding, from venues to catering, honeymoon destinations to fashion and grooming advice for the big day.
The 148-page glossy guide will be available exclusively in print at WHSmith from March 25, and will also be available to download via Attitude’s digital app for tablet and mobile. Click here for further information.
