Data Analysis and Conclusion

I was correct in the fact that people are more open and accepting to the idea of legalizing same sex marriage. I did notice though that the younger the audience the more open they were to such a thing. This elucidates my point that our world is growing and changing with each passing day. The older the audience the less interested they were in the idea of same sex marriage being legal. Looking at the way they answered the other questions though it was more of a lack of acceptance rather than a lack of interest.  People who did not agree with same sex marriage being legalized usually checked off religion as their influence on their opinion. To my astonishment though, a few people, who had in fact stated that they thought it should be legalized, checked off religion as an influence as well. So I’m glad that I can prove that you could be religious and still support the LGBT community. Over all I’m pleased to see the outcome of the surveys. However, being as I live in a southern state where religion, or more specifically Christianity, could be taken very seriously I was not expecting so many people to be open to the idea. I still stand by my original statement that we do not acknowledge the great amount of people that are accepting of the LGBT community and the rights that we should have. I will adjust it though; we truly are failing to see how much support the LGBT community has, just like I have failed to see how much support lays here in this southern society. I think we do this though because of stereo types and society influencing us to automatically label people as worshippers and sinners right away.
