Columbus- A self-described Christian from Botkins supports a constitutional ban on gay marriage, saying, "It's in the Bible. It should be in the constitution."

A Cleveland retiree worries that gay marriages will lead to more gay adoptions and insists that children fare better in households with "normal" parents.

A customer service representative from Westlake fears that gay marriage will pave the way for polygamy.

These responses were part of a statewide survey of likely voters that showed support for a state constitutional ban on same-sex marriage by a ratio of more than 2 to 1.

2. Why is it that Gays & Lesbians allow themselves..

to be used as a political football. They should take charge of the subject and away from politics until after the elections.

4. I'M WARNING YOU!!!!

If gay marriage is upheld I'm going to leave my wife and kids and marry Lou in Accounting. The only thing holding me back is that it might be illegal. If it weren't for the iron rule of law, I'd turn homo in a heartbeat.

5. "It's in the Bible. It should be in the constitution."

What part of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness do they not understand?

These people are a danger to democracy.
