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.
You failed to quote what I wrote in it’s entirety regarding San Francisco. The final sentence read: “I say all of this as a proponent of repealing our drug laws, and treating addiction as the psychological ailment that it is”. Hardly a right-wing view. And had you followed the link in that third quote, you would be aware that Paul Bloom explicitly makes the case for Rational Compassion
Yes, I get that you’re a libertarian who claims not to be right-wing.
It’s much easier just to say what’s on your mind outright: “Someone is expressing thoughts which run contrary to my own, and I don’t like it. I want everyone to always agree with me, and to just re-enforce my pre-existing beliefs”
That was not what was on my mind. Stop lying.

Like I would click the link of someone who feels it’s appropriate to lie to me about what’s in my own mind.
Therein lays the peril of not being honest with yourself… A gadfly like myself inevitably comes along, and articulates what you’ve been hinting around at, in Plain Language
Why you believe gaslighting me about what is in my own mind will work, I don’t know. But do continue, “gadfly.”
A gadfly is preferable to a Gad Saad. Consider yourself blessed
