The organization People's Press did a comprehensive survey of more than 1,000 people in the state of Ohio and broke down their views on gay marriage by age. Not surprisingly, the study found that younger generations are much more open to legalizing same-sex unions. While most young people were in the middle or in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage, older generations were strongly opposed. This data provided a great local perspective because it concentrated on the state of Ohio. Ohio has one of the strongest policies against gay marriage because its constitution actually limits marriage to being between men and women. However, the numbers show that not all young Ohioans would agree with this, which could make for some interesting legislation in time. This table is great for reporters who want to track changing attitudes generation by generation.
