Businesses Should Be Required To Serve Same-Sex Couples
This chart was made from information in a new CNN / ORC Poll -- done between April 16th and 19th of a random national sample of 1,018 adults, with a 3 point margin of error.
Recently, the state of Indiana tried to pass a law allowing businesses to discriminate against the LGBT community (specifically, same-sex couples). There was such an uproar among the general public in this country that Indiana legislators and their governor quickly rescinded the portion of the law that would allow businesses to discriminate.
This chart shows why there was such an outrage. Americans don't like it when businesses discriminate. The public believes if you are in business to serve the public, you should serve all of the public -- and that includes same-sex couples (regardless of your personal religious beliefs). That's the opinion of 57% of Americans, with only 41% disagreeing (a 16 point difference).
The country is changing, and with each passing day we come closer to realizing the dream of equality for all.
