Pre-Discussion Position on Same-Sex Marriage. On the prediscussion-seven survey, participants indicated, on a scale ranging from 1 (“Oppose strongly”) to 4 (“Favor strongly”), their favorability towards encouraging states to recognize gay or lesbian marriages... Respondents again expressed their position on same-sex partnerships as legal unions on the postdiscussion survey... The end of project survey administered in January, almost three months after the discussions, also contained a question on the governmental effort to stop discrimination against homosexuals
