Smart Politics blog at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey Institute crunched the numbers on support for same-sex marriage in the Gopher State using public opinion polling from the last 10 years.
Among the results: Minnesotans do not support gay marriage but they do not support a constitutional amendment banning it. They think homosexuality is a sin by wide margins but they also think gays and lesbians are born that way by a margin of 10 percent.
Level of support for gay marriage have been increasing and a plurality support civil unions or domestic partnerships granting full marriage rights to gays and lesbians so long as it isn’t called marriage.
