Poll: Utahns Support Legal Protections For Gays, But Believe They’re Gay By Choice | A new poll from Equality Utah shows that Utahns have some mixed views on LGBT issues. A significant majority (73 percent) support LGBT nondiscrimination protections in employment and housing, with 80 percent believing such protections already exist. But even though 64 percent favor some form of legal recognition for same-sex couples, 65 percent oppose allowing same-sex marriage. Furthermore, 55 percent oppose same-sex couples serving as foster parents, 52 percent oppose same-sex couples adopting, and 54 percent believe that being gay is “probably or definitely a choice.”
