43% : The Supreme Court defended the right to same-sex marriage in its landmark 2015 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, which ruled that the 14 Amendment protected the right of same-sex couples to marry.
39% : A bipartisan group of negotiators met Thursday morning to make a decision on whether to release the text of an amendment designed to respond to the concerns of GOP lawmakers who feared the legislation could put churches and other religious institutions at legal risk if Congress voted to codify same-sex marriage rights.
