Republicans Benefit From Opposing Same-Sex Marriage, Reed Says

Opposition to same-sex marriage is a winning political issue for Republicans even as polls show increased acceptance of gay unions, said Ralph Reed, the founder and chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
While support for same-sex marriage rose to 55 percent last month from 40 percent five years earlier, according to Gallup surveys, Reed said that young people who account for much of that change in attitude can change their views over time and that more voters oppose same-sex marriages at the ballot box than surveys predict.
