While older people may be less accepting than younger ones of homosexuality, the trends showed that all age groups had become more liberal in their outlook towards same-sex relationships.However, the Tories seem vulnerable on marriage. When asked, 45% of respondents agreed it made “no difference to children whether their parents are married to each other or just living together”, up from 38% in 1998. Older people did not hold strong views on wedlock.
