A majority of young white evangelical Christians support legal recognition of civil unions or marriage for same-sex couples. Fifty-eight percent of young white evangelicals support some form of legal recognition of civil unions or marriage for same-sex couples; a quarter (26 percent) support the full right for same-sex couples to marry. White evangelicals over age 30 are less supportive: forty-six percent favor some legal recognition, but only 9 percent of older white evangelicals favor full marriage rights.
Portion of survey of evangelical Christians from Religion and Ethics Newsweekly, a PBS news program. The results show that there are differences of opinon among evangelicals -- some portion of the under-30 evangelicals surveyed hold views that fall under the ''liberal'' column, but most remain conservative.
