CVVM survey: nearly 60 percent of Czechs support same-sex marriage

The number of Czechs who support the right of homosexuals to adopt children and enter into a registered partnership or marriage has increased over the past four years, suggests a poll by the CVVM agency published on Wednesday.

According to the survey, 83 percent of respondents are in favour of a registered partnership between homosexuals, while 58 percent said gay people should have equal rights to marry.

The survey also shows that 77 percent of Czechs are in favour of homosexuals to adopt their partner’s children, while 63 percent support their right to adopt children from children’s home.

According to CVVM, homosexuals have the most support among women, young people under 29 and people who consider their standard of living to be good.
