New survey suggests decline has strong correlation between Christian nationalism and opposition to inclusive policies

Public support for same-sex marriage and nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ Americans has fallen, even as the overall share remains high, according to new findings by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute.

Broad majorities of Americans, regardless of political party or faith, continue to support LGBTQ+ rights and protections, the analysis found. But after years of rising public support, the decline is notable, said Melissa Deckman, CEO of the PRRI.

The survey analyzed Americans’ attitudes toward LGBTQ+ rights across three policies: same-sex marriage, nondiscrimination protections and religion-based service refusals. It found support for all three measures had softened for the first time since the PRRI began tracking views of the issues nearly a decade ago.

While the “vast majority of Americans continue to endorse protections for LGBTQ Americans”, Deckman said the results may serve as a “warning sign” for those working to safeguard the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans amid a conservative legislative and legal effort to erode them.

      And now you’re insulting her physical appearance. You clearly aren’t interested in a serious discussion either.

          My mind made up about what?

          All I’ve made my mind up about is that you judge people for their inherent characteristics, which is something I would not expect a queer person to do.

              You literally mocked her for her BMI just now. So you absolutely did judge something inherent about her. Or are you one of those nutty “anyone can be thin” people?

              Also, Shecky Magazine is another comedy source.

              You’ve provided two comedy sources to “prove” your claim and insulted someone for their BMI. You are not here for serious discussion.

              You didn’t even tell me what I supposedly made my mind up about.
