I find it troubling as well, but I imagine a big part of that 37% is for religious reasons, which is still ridiculous but at least it's not because of intentional homophobia. I'll take ignorance over hate any day.

And on that note, 63% support it. There's still work to be done but even in the last 5 years I've noticed a huge change in society. Using gay as an insult 5 years ago wouldn't have been nearly as big a deal as it is today. Slow progress is better than no progress.
