US Catholics more liberal on gay issues than evangelical Protestants

A recent study shows Catholics in the US are more liberal about gay sexuality and marriage equality than white evangelical Protestants.

Work done by the Public Religion Research Institute, released on 24 April, showed less than half of US Catholics, 49%, saw gay sex between two adults as 'morally wrong.'

An overwhelming majority, 78%, of white evangelical Protestants consider sexual relations between same gender adults as morally suspect.

When it comes to marriage equality, only 37% of US Catholics oppose it; 69% of white evangelical Protestants are also against same sex marriage. Full story here via Gay Star News!
