Sacramento newspaper gay rights poll:

[cboy4]

Californians strongly back civil rights protections for gays and lesbians - but their support stops at the altar of marriage, according to a Field Poll released Tuesday.

Some 67 percent of Californians support the rights of gays and lesbians to serve in the military, 59 percent favor prohibiting employers from discriminating against homosexuals and 55 percent say gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to adopt children, according to the telephone poll conducted Feb. 12-26.

But on the question of marriage, just 43 percent of the state's residents support legalizing same-sex marriages, while 51 percent disapprove. The numbers are similar among registered voters: 44 percent in favor of gay marriage compared with 50 percent against it.

1. I just don't get where the disconnect comes over just a word.

If there's anyone in this country who receives "special benefits" it's married couples.

I always joke that the only benefit I want from the Federal government is the family discount at our National Parks.
