While most regions of the country have recently seen majority-levels of support for legal gay marriage, the South holds on tenaciously to the opposing stance. Only 31% of people in the South support legalizing homosexual marriage, a rate of 24 percentage points less than the Northeast, 21 less than the West and 20 less than the Midwest.
