Politics: attitudes towards families in Kentucky

According to a study at the University of Kentucky Research Center for Families and Children and Survey Research Center surveying 800 Kentuckians:

  • A majority of respondents agreed that society would be better off if divorces were harder to get.
  • Seventy-three percent of respondents agreed that couples who have children together should be married.
  • Fifty-five percent disagreed that it’s okay for romantically involved people who are not married to live together.
  • More than three quarters of respondents disagreed that marriage between same sex couples should by recognized by law in Kentucky.
  • Seventy-two percent disagreed when asked if civil unions between same sex couples should be recognized by law. People over age 60 showed the highest percentage disagreement with civil unions, while respondents under 29 expressed the lowest percentage of disagreement.

I don't know if I can ever go back to that state.
