Despite claims to the contrary, same-sex marriage did not cost John Kerry the presidential election. Data from the 2004 national exit polls indicate:
- Same-sex marriage had little net effect on the outcome of the election;
- Voters increasingly accept other forms of same-sex partnership recognition.
