Poll: 51% of white evangelicals support business' refusal of service to LGBT customers

While a majority of Americans oppose religion-based refusal of service to LGBT customers, most white evangelicals support such measures.

A new Morning Consult poll shows that most Americans (57%) disagreed with businesses refusing to serve customers who identify as LGBT, a day after Monday’s Supreme Court decision that the state of Colorado had treated a baker with “religious hostility” for refusing to make a cake for a same-sex wedding.
