47% : Thomas wrote that the high court should revisit past decisions protecting same-sex marriage and contraception access.
37% : Same-sex marriage has long been a contentious topic for Republicans.
32% : Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson, R-Pa., confirmed that he attended his gay son's wedding on Friday -- just days after voting against a bill that would codify federal protections for same-sex marriage.
