This page offers graphs of statistics on those who oppose same-sex marriage. The statistics survey the years 1996, 2001 and 2003 to observe changing attitudes on this topic. Not surprisingly, people have become more accepting of same-sex marriages over the years. However, the demographic breakdown reveals that, not surprisingly, those who classify themselves as conservatives or religious are much less accepting than those who are not. The site also offers numbers on measured same-sex partnerships in all 50 states. It has a global map with same-sex marriage laws labeled in every country(pictured above). While the Web site is left-leaning, the numbers are factual and were obtained through surveys done by various non-profit organizations. The well-organized information and clear format make the page an obvious resource to interested journalists.
