Margaret Court bullied on the Project, page-13

In June 2014, Crosby Textor Group^[235] was commissioned by Australian Marriage Equality to poll the public on same-sex marriage. Their survey included the following questions on the common reasons for opposition:^[236]

	Reason	Agree (%)	Disagree (%)
1	People who choose to be gay know that their choice means they cannot get married	30%	58%
2	It is fine for same-sex couples to have a ceremony, but it should not be called ‘marriage’	30%	63%
3	The recognition of de facto relationships and civil unions is enough; we don’t need same-sex marriage too	29%	63%
4	Children need both a mother and a father, and legalising same-sex marriage could break that down	29%	65%
5	The institution is already under threat and should not be further undermined by this	24%	67%
6	Marriage is only meant to be between a man and a woman, so this is wrong and should not be encouraged	24%	69%
7	Marriage is a religious institution and no changes should be made to it against the wishes of religious groups	23%	70%
8	Same-sex marriages could devalue traditional marriages	22%	73%
9	Allowing same-sex marriage will lead to some people losing their religious freedoms	16%	72%
10	Allowing same-sex marriage is a slippery slope and could lead to issues like polygamy	17%	74%
