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.
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.
I’ve judged West as a dunce based on the emptiness of her thinking*, not any inherent characteristics. That(Judging people based on what they say and do)is the way sane, decent people operate, no matter what sexual orientation they happen to be

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.
Lindy West admits to being one of those nutty people who refuses to lay off the Twinkies, under the pretext that her doing so is “Fighting Systemic Oppression…” She clearly won’t get lean with a mindset like that. She describes herself as a comedy reformer, so yeah… Shecky has taken an interest in her idiocy
I see, it’s okay to make fun of someone’s body image as long as they eat Twinkies.
Because she would definitely be thin if she didn’t do that. That’s how everything works.
Or maybe you’re just an intolerant person.
