Ah, so you think at least 40% of Americans, when asked the above
question,
understand the term "homosexual couple" to refer to a gay man paired
with
a
lesbian, and give their approval on the basis of that understanding.

Congratulations, Steven. You've just outdone yourself.


I'm saying that an ambiguous question gives ambiguous results, and that
pollsters can phrase questions in a manner to achieve a desired result.

And you think the term "homosexual couple" is ambiguous, because you think
many people could suppose it refers to a gay man paired with a lesbian?
