METHODOLOGY
The Glengariff Group, Inc. conducted a 1,000 sample random digit dial live operator telephone survey of registered voters in Texas.
The survey was conducted on August 29, 2010 through September 2, 2010 and has margin of error of +/-3.1% with a 95% level of
confidence. This survey was commissioned by Equality Texas.

KEY FINDINGS
TEXAS VOTERS OVERALL RELATIONSHIP WITH GLBT CITIZENS
 78.2% of Texas voters know someone that is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
o 27.2% would consider their relationship very close.
o 20.1% would consider their relationship somewhat close.
o 30.1% would consider the person an acquaintance.
 Only 18.3% of Texas voters definitively say they do not know any person that is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
 Voters are split on the question of whether a person is born gay and lesbian or whether it is a choice they make.
o 32.9% of voters think gays and lesbians are born gay.
o 38.5% of voters believe gays and lesbians make a choice to be gay.
o 12.5% of voters believe it is a combination of choice and being born that way.
 When asked whether lesbians and gays were seeking special rights or equal rights, by almost a two to one margin Texas voters
said lesbians and gays were seeking equal rights:
o 60.5% of voters think lesbians and gays are seeking equal rights.
o 32.1% of voters think lesbians and gays are seeking special rights.
 28.4% of Texas voters say their attitudes toward gays and lesbians has become more accepting in the past five to ten years
compared to only 5.2% that said their attitudes have become less accepting. 65.7% of voters said their attitudes have not
changed.

BROAD SUPPORT FOR TEN OF TWELVE RIGHTS ISSUES
 Voters were asked whether they supported or opposed twelve different rights issues as they pertain to gay, lesbian and
transgender citizens. There is broad and wide support for ten of the twelve right issues that were tested. The chart below
reviews all twelve issues ranked from the strongest support to the weakest support.
RIGHTS ISSUE SUPPORT OPPOSE

Guaranteed right to visit their partners in a hospital 88.0% 10.0%
Pass uniform anti-bullying legislation to prohibit harassment in schools 79.2% 18.0%
Prohibit employment or housing discrimination based on sexual orientation 75.4% 20.8%
Guaranteed right to make end of life medical decisions for a partner 75.1% 20.4%
Prohibit employment/housing discrimination for transgender citizens 69.7% 24.1%
Gays/ Lesbians have same legal rights with respect to their children 68.8% 24.0%
Pass hate crime legislation for transgender citizens 67.3% 28.3%
Legal rights to inherit possessions if there is no will in place 65.4% 29.5%
Allow gays and lesbians to get a civil union 63.1% 30.3%
Extend domestic partnership benefits to government/public university employees 62.3% 30.8%
Recognize same sex marriage if wed in another state that allows it 48.4% 46.0%
Allow gays and lesbians to get married 42.7% 52.7%
 By an almost two to one margin, Texas voters now support civil unions for gays and lesbians providing them the same legal
rights as marriage without actually calling it marriage. But Texas voters oppose allowing gays and lesbians to get married
by a margin of 42.7%-52.7%.
 There is a strong majority desire among Texas voters to provide gays and lesbians with protections for their relationships as
long as those protections are not called marriage.

STRONGEST FACTOR: CLOSENESS TO A PERSON THAT IS GAY OR LESBIAN
 Amongst all the demographic factors, there was no greater disparity in the support level for gay and lesbians rights issues than
by whether or not the individual said they knew someone that was gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. The chart below
compares support levels for the twelve rights issues we examined based on whether voters said they were „very close‟ or
„did not know‟ a person that was gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
RIGHTS ISSUE VERY CLOSE DO NOT KNOW DIFF

Guaranteed right to visit their partners in a hospital 91.5% 76.5% -15.0%
Pass uniform anti-bullying legislation to prohibit harassment in schools 85.0% 75.0% -10.0%
Prohibit employment or housing discrimination based on sexual orientation 86.8% 60.1% -26.7%
Guaranteed right to make end of life medical decisions for a partner 84.5% 60.7% -23.8%
Prohibit employment/housing discrimination for transgender citizens 81.2% 54.7% -26.5%
Gays/ Lesbians have same legal rights with respect to their children 83.5% 50.2% -33.3%
Pass hate crime legislation for transgender citizens 74.2% 55.2% -19.0%
Partner‟s legal rights to inherit possessions if there is no will in place 78.7% 48.0% -30.7%
Allow gays and lesbians to get a civil union 72.1% 46.5% -25.6%
Extend domestic partnership benefits to government/public university employees 76.1% 39.9% -36.2%
Recognize same sex marriage if wed in another state that allows it 65.9% 30.6% -35.3%
Allow gays and lesbians to get married 61.0% 25.7% -35.3%
 When you compare the average support level for voters that are very close to a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender person to
those who say they do not know anyone that is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, support levels fall by an average of
26.4% for GLBT rights issues. The closer a voter is to a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender person, the stronger their
support for these twelve rights issues. With 78% of Texas voters saying they know someone that is GLBT, this
demographic is the driving determinant behind support of rights issues that do not include the word „marriage‟.

DIFFERENCE BY PARTY AFFILIATION
 It is no great surprise that Democratic voters overwhelmingly support all twelve rights issues by a margin above 65%.
 A majority of independent voters support eleven of the twelve rights issues. They support six of the rights issues by greater
than 65%. The only issue Independent voters do not support is the right to marry.
 What may be more surprising is that a majority of Republican voters support nine of the twelve rights issues – including five at
levels greater than 65%. It is simply not accurate to say that Republican voters do not support gay and lesbian rights
issues. They do not support marriage rights for same sex partners. But they do support legal protections for same sex
partnerships.
 Perhaps most surprising is that a majority of Republican voters – 57.6% -- support civil unions for gay and lesbian couples.
 The chart below looks at support levels for the twelve issues based on party affiliation. While Democrats show overwhelming
support on the twelve issues, Independent and Republican voters act similarly on most of the issues. There are several
significant differences between Republican and Independent voters:
 A 10.7% difference on the issue of adoption
 A 10.1% difference on the issue of inheritance rights
 A 12.9% difference on the issue of domestic partnership benefits for government/university employees
 A 21.4% difference on the issue of recognizing marriages from other states that allow same sex marriage
 While there is a difference on the issue of gay marriage, both Republicans and Independent voters‟ support for
the issue is at 40% or lower.

RIGHTS ISSUE DEM IND GOP
Guaranteed right to visit their partners in a hospital 94.1% 87.6% 85.4%
Pass uniform anti-bullying legislation to prohibit harassment in schools 89.6% 78.8% 72.4%
Prohibit employment or housing discrimination based on sexual orientation 82.2% 73.5% 73.1%
Guaranteed right to make end of life medical decisions for a partner 88.8% 72.7% 68.9%
Prohibit employment/housing discrimination for transgender citizens 78.9% 67.6% 68.0%
Gays/ Lesbians have same legal rights with respect to their children 85.2% 68.2% 57.5%
Pass hate crime legislation for transgender citizens 79.3% 64.0% 62.2%
Partner‟s legal rights to inherit possessions if there is no will in place 83.7% 64.2% 54.3%
Allow gays and lesbians to get a civil union 76.8% 59.4% 57.6%
Extend domestic partnership benefits to government/public university employees 79.6% 62.6% 49.7%
Recognize same sex marriage if wed in another state that allows it 72.2% 50.4% 29.0%
Allow gays and lesbians to get married 65.2% 40.8% 27.9%

RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES: WEEKLY CHURCH ATTENDEES SUPPORT 9 OR 12 ISSUES
47.4% of respondents attend church weekly. A majority of this large block of respondents support nine of the twelve issues we tested
including 51.1% of weekly church goers who support civil unions rising to 83.6% of weekly church goers who support a guaranteed
right to visit a partner in the hospital. Support builds among individuals who attend religious services less frequently or not at all. The
chart below compares support levels on the twelve issues based on whether voters attended church weekly or several times per month.
RIGHTS ISSUE WEEKLY SEVERAL TIMES DIFF

Pass hate crime legislation for transgender citizens 63.3% 58.8% +4.5%
 There is an average difference of 13.1% in support levels among people who attend church weekly and people who attend
church several times per month. Those numbers increase somewhat among people who rarely or never attend church
services. And while there are differences among these numbers based on religious frequency, it is important to note that
there is still strong support among weekly church attendees for nine of twelve issues that we tested.

 One clear difference in religious frequency occurs on the issue of marriage. Below are the support levels for marriage based
on religious frequency:
 Weekly 26.6%
 Several times per month 49.5%
 Once a month 44.6%
 Several times per year 51.3%
 Rarely 57.5%
 Don‟t attend services 67.3%
 When comparing the three largest religious affiliations in Texas – Baptist, Non-Denominational, and Catholic – Baptist and
Non-Denominational voters mirror each of in support levels on nearly all issues. But Catholic voters appear to be on
average 8-12% more supportive of the twelve issues. And on the issue of marriage, 58.9% of Catholic voters support
marriage rights compared to only 32.1% for Baptists and 29.9% for Non-Denominational voters.

AGE: OLDER VOTERS AS SUPPORTIVE AS YOUNGER VOTERS
 84.1% of voters aged 18-29 say they know someone that is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. 43.5% of this age groups
says they are VERY close to someone that is GLBT. Among 30-64 year olds, 80% of voters know someone that is GLBT.
But even among those over the age of 65, 68.2% say they know someone that is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
 The fact that 68% of voters over the age of 65 years old know an GLBT citizen is a primary reason that age is no longer an
overwhelming factor in support levels for the twelve rights issues – with one important exception: marriage.
RIGHTS ISSUE 18-30 65+ DIFF

 When you compare 18-30 year old support levels to 65 and older support levels for the first ten issues not related to marriage,
there is only an average 8.3% difference between the two age groups. But on the issue of marriage, there is an average
20% difference between the two age groups.

 On the issue of marriage, support level by age breaks out as follows:
 18-29 55.3%
 30-39 50.4%
 40-49 46.3%
 50-64 42.9%
 65+ 30.5%
 Civil unions has greater than 50% support among all age levels.

GENDER: WOMEN FAR MORE SUPPORTIVE
Women are significantly more supportive of the twelve issues than men. While 73.6% of men say they know a GLBT person, 81.0%
of women say they know a GLBT person.
The chart below examines the differences in support levels between men and women among the twelve issues. The average level of
support among women is 11.3% higher than the level of support from men.
RIGHTS ISSUE MEN WOMEN DIFF


MARRIAGE VERSUS CIVIL UNIONS: FROM WHERE WILL SUPPORT FOR MARRIAGE EVOLVE?
 While only 42.7% of voters supported marriage, 63.1% of voters supported civil unions. That means that there are 20.4% of
Texas voters who believe that same sex couples should have a legal protection for their partnerships – but they are not
willing to say it should be marriage yet. Given how the civil union and marriage policy arguments have evolved
throughout the nation over the past five to ten years -- with people who once were only supportive of civil unions now
becoming increasingly supportive of marriage – the difference between these numbers by demographic group can be a
strong indicator of where your greatest support will be evolve in the next five to ten years for the marriage issue. The chart
below looks at the difference between every demographic group in their support levels of same sex marriage as compared
to civil unions. We have listed every group whose difference was greater than the overall difference of 20.4%.
El Paso, San Angelo, Odessa-Midland 21.2%

Panhandle 29.5%
South Texas 21.0%
Dallas/ Fort Worth 21.6%
Houston 23.9%
Northeast 20.7%

$40,000-70,000 22.3%
$100,000 21.9%
Baptist 23.6%
Non-Denominational 22.5%
 This chart paints a picture of where new supporters for same sex marriage will evolve from their current support for civil
unions – and that picture shows the greatest growth will emerge from conservative, Republican, church attending, non-
urban voters over the age of 50 years old.
