About 65% of U.S. adults believe same-sex marriage should be legal, down slightly from 71% in 2022 and 2023, according to a new Gallup poll.

Acceptance of same-sex marriage and relationships in the U.S. has flattened after more than two decades of steadily increasing support, with an ongoing decline among Republicans, according to a new Gallup poll.

About 65% of U.S. adults believe same-sex marriage should be legal, down slightly from 71% in 2022 and 2023.

Most of the change is due to dropping acceptance among Republicans. In the new survey, which was conducted in May, only 37% of Republicans say same-sex marriage should be legally valid, while 35% say gay and lesbian relations are “morally acceptable.”

The views of Democrats and independents are largely stable in the findings released Wednesday, with most in both groups saying same-sex marriage should be legal and that gay or lesbian relations are moral.

All the low-attention voters who became MAGA for the spectacle of Trump are being indoctrinated by the religious right. Trump has done and is doing generational damage to our nation.

Looks like the MAGA hearts are shifting away from love-based relationships and more toward pedophilia and infidelity.

Probably because they are less likely to need their views parroted to them via Fox News or whatever braindead media they consume and realize the reality of the situation is we pose no threat to anyone or anything.

How is 6% 'slightly down'? It feels like a lot.

Why do they lump trans issues with LGBT issues? The results are now skewed and meaningless

The T in LGBT stands for Transgender

Its literally the T in LGBT.

Also both are queer and inherently subversions of patriarchal society.

Stonewall riots started with a bisexual trans woman.

The acronym was never about sexuality, it was about gender non-conformity. By the same notion, that's what people's attitudes are being measured about: specific forms and sub-groups of gender non-conformity.
