Poll: Pennsylvanians Support Legal Recognition For Same-Sex Couples | A new Public Policy Polling poll shows that a vast majority of Pennsylvanians (64 percent) support legal recognition for same-sex couples through either marriage or civil unions. When asked specifically about marriage equality, Pennsylvania voters are less enthused, with only 36 percent supporting the legalization of same-sex marriage. Despite Republican control of the state’s government, LGBT rights continue to progress at the local level with 25 municipalities now offering non-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
