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.
Can you actually present evidence of them saying what you claim? Because my Googling sure doesn’t show it. It does show a lot of right-wing hatred for this Lindy West person… and Wikipedia doesn’t even talk about them writing about queer issues, so I’m not sure where you’re even getting this from.

So your evidence is a comedy show?
You do know what comedy means, right?
That was a debate. You do know what that word means, right?
A “debate”… on a comedy show.
There are many comedy shows about “debates.” The whole point is that they are comedy shows.

Yes, sounds like a formal debate forum where people intentionally make serious, well-reasoned arguments to me.

And now you’re insulting her physical appearance. You clearly aren’t interested in a serious discussion either.
Let’s not pretend that you didn’t already have your mind made up when you first replied to me. I’ve learned the hard way that conversing with folks like yourself is more pointless than bedding Kim Kardashian, then expecting her poonany to be tighter than an oil drum
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.
