Latinos Grow More Supportive of Gay Marriage
Hispanic voters have traditionally been socially conservative
Latinos are changing their attitudes about same-sex marriage, joining growing support in the rest of the country to allow gay couples to marry.
More than half, or 52%, of Latinos say they support gay marriage in a new poll by the Pew Research Center. The general public supports gay marriage, 48%-44%.
The finding for Latinos is opposite of attitudes in 2006: Pew says 56% of Latinos opposed same-sex marriage six years ago, while 31% supported it.
