sittingduckz: Oop's you're talking to me aren't you 

nickb800: The problem here is two-fold: silly newspaper website poll with likely biased responses AND the resulting statistics being presented as conclusive in a newspaper website headline.

Stuff does stupid polls like this all the time, but fortunately they don't report the results in news articles as fact (actually they probably have at some point, it seems like the sort of thing they would do).


Individual opinions aside, its pretty clear that the poll is rubbish since it bears no resemblance to any of the more robust polls on the topic

sleemanj: Possibly, but I imagine that the problem of international recognition would be there if it's a same-sex civil union or a same-sex marriage.  

The international recognition of current marriage is largely non-existent by default, it's pretty much up to each country what they accept as a marriage, from which countries.

As of late, I notice that if you have different opinion to gay community, you are often labelled as intolerant, judgemental, close minded, religious, Bigot etc.

nakedmolerat: This is how I see it.

OP disagreed with the poll result as it does not support what he think is 'right'. I on the other hand think everyone is entitled to their opinion. I advocate respect and freedom of opinion.

As of late, I notice that if you have different opinion to gay community, you are often labelled as intolerant, judgemental, close minded, religious etc. It is sad to see the world has gone backwards
