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.
“Those terms have pretty clear connotations”
In regards to “Problematic” https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-daum-the-problem-with-problematic-20160721-snap-story.html https://sahkilic.medium.com/problematic-is-a-coward-word-930ff8626895 https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/science-diction/articles/jargon-we-love-to-hate-it
The redefinition of that term that’s been en vogue since '16 is deliberately vague and slippery I.E. Anything BUT clear
It’s telling that you don’t defend your own words and instead point to other words.
Problematic means it causes a problem. Problematic can be used in a variety of situations, but it always means that to anyone with a brain. Blue pill is stupid meme shit that means “Don’t talk to this person again because they probably hate black people and women.”
So you didn’t read the two articles I linked or listen to the interview. Pity
You didn’t respond to my issues, and since you believe in equality so much, it just seemed fair.
They refuse to answer any questions.

Clever because the response both answers my question and attempts not to. It presumes that you understand entendres, and thus hate people for wanting to be able to live their lives.

That seems subjective, don’t you think?
In the same way it’s subjective to believe that sending a platoon of armed soldiers into a village of dirt poor peasants, then ordering them to murder everyone in the village is a no-no might be “subjective”. Yeah, there’s a portion of our species who will resort to remarkable feats of intellectual contortion in their efforts to justify such things
Most folks recognize that our capacity for forethought and self-possession are what separates human beings from the animals though, and that rewarding those who behave contrary to these standards undermines the very notion of civilization
