Two-thirds of Britons support same sex marriage
Nearly two-thirds of British people support plans to introduce gay marriage, according to a poll published on Thursday which showed growing backing for the reform.
Some 62 percent of those questioned for the poll in the Guardian newspaper said same-sex couples should be allowed to marry, against 31 percent who oppose the change and seven percent who were undecided.
The poll also showed that a majority of supporters of Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative Party back the change.
Cameron has been a strong supporter of the legislation despite opposition from Conservative backbench lawmakers.

This could be pretty significant.
