That's an interesting statistic.

I ponder the gay marriage issue. I worked with a gay man who went to Canada to be married to his partner. It was a longstanding relationship. What he told me is that they wanted to get married to have their union recognized and perhaps gain some legal standing for their joint assets should one of them die.

You would think that the law could come up with another way to acknowledge gay partnerships, without having it go the marriage route. I think most people cannot accept the concept of same sex marriages. But, at the same time, from an objective point of view, I can understand that gays in a long term relationship want some sort of legal recognition. Of course, if one doesn't like gays they can go to Iran, where according to the Iranian President, they don't have gays. Which opens another cultural can of worms.
