A new Gallup poll reveals that Americans’ support for LGBTQ+ issues<\/a> has plateaued and begun to slide backward, with fewer Americans favoring same-sex marriage or viewing gay relationships as morally acceptable.<\/p>\n

The survey<\/a>, released Wednesday, finds while a majority of Americans (65%) still support legal same-sex marriage, that figure has dropped six percentage points from its peak in 2022 and 2023. Meanwhile, moral acceptance of gay and lesbian relationships has dipped to 62%, which Gallup says is its lowest point since 2016.<\/p>\n

Public acceptance of gender transition has experienced an even steeper decline over the last five years. Today, just 38% of Americans believe changing one’s gender is morally acceptable, down eight points since 2021, while a 57% majority view it as morally wrong.<\/p>\n

The cultural shift is largely driven by Republicans and, to a lesser extent, independents, while Democrats’ views on LGBTQ issues<\/a> have remained steady, Gallup says.<\/p>\n

The partisan shift is clearly seen on attitudes towards same-sex marriage. Among Republicans, support for legal same-sex marriage<\/a> has plummeted to 37%, down from the 55% majority recorded in 2021-2022.<\/p>\n

Independents<\/a> also saw a six-point drop to 67%, while Democrats have held steady at 87% since 2022.<\/p>\n

A similar pattern emerged on views on the morality of same-sex relationships. Among Republicans, acceptance fell 21 points to 35%, falling to levels not seen since 2005-2014. Independents’ had an eight-point decline, dropping to 64% while there was no meaningful change among Democrats, at 81%.<\/p>\n

Another stark contrast is seen on the issue of gender transition. Just 5% of Republicans view changing one’s gender as morally acceptable, compared to 42% of independents and 60% of Democrats. Gallup noted that Republicans’ support for this issue has steadily declined since 2021, but independents and Democrats’ attitudes had held steady until a sudden drop in support this year.<\/p>\n

The survey results were gathered from Gallup’s annual Values and Beliefs survey conducted in early May.<\/p>\n

While Americans have become more supportive of gay marriage<\/a> over the past 20 years, support has dropped marginally every year since 2024.<\/p>\n

Similarly, moral approval of gay and lesbian relations rose from 40% in 2001 to 71% in 2022, before a sharp drop to 64% in 2023, where it has since plateaued.<\/p>\n

Gallup framed the declining support for LGBTQ issues in recent years as a result of conservative pushback against diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives (DEI) intended to foster acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals and other historically marginalized groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
