Fifty-nine (59) percent of Americans think military leaders, rather than Congress, should be making the decision about the military policy on homosexuality, according to a poll released Tuesday by the Family Research Center.

The Zogby International telephone survey, which was conducted May 17, asked 2,063 people: “As pertains to homosexuals openly serving in the military, do you believe this decision is best made by military leaders or Congress?”

Only 21 percent said Congress should make the decision — and 18 percent answered neither or “not sure.”
