Most Americans see gay marriage as inevitable: survey

(Reuters) - Nearly three-quarters of Americans, including a majority of those who personally object to extending marriage rights to same-sex couples, say legal recognition of gay marriage is "inevitable," according to a survey by the Pew Research Center released on Thursday.
The survey found that just over half of Americans favor giving gays and lesbians the right to marry, while 42 percent oppose legalizing gay marriage.
In March, a Pew survey found 49 percent of Americans favored same-sex marriage and 44 percent were opposed.
