“Americans are sharply divided over whether the Supreme Court should strike down the Defense of Marriage Act when it likely rules on the law later this month, according to a new YouGov poll.
According to the survey, 41 percent of Americans said the Supreme Court should overturn DOMA and 45 percent said it should uphold the law, which forbids the federal government from recognizing the marriages of gay and lesbian couples, even in states where those marriages are legal. That split reflects the divide among Americans more generally over whether the federal government should recognize same-sex marriages: 43 percent said it should, and 45 percent said it should not.”
Personal statement
This article represents the real up-to-date situation regarding this issue in an present American society. Further down the article, several more charts are provided, that show the division on this question among the different age groups. Younger people are voting for allowing the court to recognize the same-sex marriages, whilst older people are strictly against this decision to be made.
This difference, from my point of view, means that modern American society is not quite ready yet to get to a common conclusion on this matter, as it is not ready to accept same-sex couples or marriages. The situation will stay the same, due to the fact that there are people with established religious views that do not recognize such marriages, as to be following the nature’s order. There are also people that simply think that this is morally wrong, and who can blame them.
