Current Events > Anti-gay attitudes are dying out in America

(+) Yeah! (+)

Three years after the U.S. Supreme Court made same-sex marriage the law of the land, many people still are not convinced that gay people should be allowed to marry. They might not say it out loud, but in their hearts, they still believe marriage should occur only between a man and a woman.

The good news, though, is that those numbers are getting smaller.

A recent survey by the Public Religion Research Institute found that overall support for same-sex marriage has increased substantially since 2015. According to its Atlas of American Values, 61 percent of Americans say gay and lesbian couples should be able to marry legally, while only about 30 percent are opposed.

With the exception of white evangelical Christians, most religious groups in America also now support same-sex marriage. The majority of white and African-American Protestants as well as Catholics are in favor of marriage between same-sex couples, according to the report.

Nice.

I've always said just give people time. Old people are stuck in their ways and not very good at accepting new points of view. They'll eventually come around or die out.

This is very true.

Good.

I hope homophobes are aware that their position is losing ground. They should feel scared.

Evangelicals are a stain on this country

I mean, we knew this. The few remaining homophobes are just really loud.

Things are going to be soooooo very different once the Boomers die out

They're definitely cognizant of that fact.

Yes, without a doubt.

They are an embarrassment.

I can agree with this 100%

Good.

the problem is is that homophobes hold such a high level of political power.

ie pence and pompeo.

the evangelicals are not going down without a fight and it doesn't matter how many third world countries get burned to the ground by their ignorance and malice.

I wouldn't say they're dying out just yet. You still have some quiet homophobes who won't speak about homosexuality at all, then the "I don't care about gay people, but my child better not end up that way" type. There are many that still look down on it even if it isn't full on hate.
---

uh.

guys.

this is good but let's not pretend as though the battle is anywhere near over.

the evangelicals know they are losing and that is why they are so dangerous.

that is why Mike Pence and Pompeo are vice president and secstate.

Too bad some of the biggest homophobes are in high positions of power.

It's all transgender now.

I doubt that, just like those people who swore racism was over when Obama got elected, 8 years later we're on the verge of a race war, I've actually bought a gun just in case it kicks off so I won't die so easily, they're just being quiet for now but once more of their kind get in more positions of power you better believe they'll be back in full force and we'll have another charlottevile.

In 10 years we're going to be in another civil war because the division will be so strong people will automatically want to kill the other side because the enemies and constant fearing and wanting to kill them is a great way to stay in power, to hide your corruption and to keep loyalty while not holding on to that loyalty yourself.

People said I was crazy, insane, lonely, need mental help and at some points I agreeed with them but now. Now I see the world for what it really is and what will eventually come to pass. There's gonna be blood in the streets, death around every corner and we'll live our lives watching our own backs not knowing we should really trust or fear

Obama was originally against gay marriage but "changed his mind" when it became politically convenient to do so. Trump and Pence have always supported gay people right from the start.

Soon enough we'll be liberal enough to marry our cats, sex dolls, animu dolls and even worse when NAMBLA gets their way.
