Majority of Israelis support surrogate parent rights for gay men — poll

As thousands rally for LGBT rights in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and elsewhere, a survey published by the Walla news site shows that over half of the nation is behind the demonstrators.

The poll finds 57 percent of respondents support a law allowing gay men to have children through surrogates, according to the site.
