69.3% of unmarried women agreed with the statement "Same-sex marriage is acceptable." while 50.2% of men were against gay marriage.

The reasons for supporting same-sex marriage were, in order of popularity, "It is a personal choice to marry who you wish", "Sexual preference is determined by nature", and "In order to work toward ending social discrimination of minorities."
There was no clear winner for reasons against same-sex marriage with "It could aggravate confusion about one's personal sexual identity"(21.9%), "It could cause social confusion"(21%), "Sexual preference is a learned behavior"(14.7%) and "I dislike same-sex marriage for no particular reason" (12.5%) the most popular choices.
