According to a recent survey, in 2023, around 71 percent of the American population believed same-sex marriage should be recognized by the law as valid. Interestingly enough, this figure changed considerably when taking into account the age group of the respondents. Young people between 18 and 34 years of age, in fact, were the group showing the highest support for same-sex marriage, with 89 percent. On the other hand, 60 percent of the respondents aged 65 years or more thought marriage between same-sex couples should be legally recognized as valid.
