majority of Republicans now say same-sex relations are immoral after a year of 'groomer' attacks on LGBTQ people, poll finds

Only 41% of Republicans in a new Gallup poll said gay or lesbian relations were morally acceptable.

That's a 15-point drop from 2022, the largest one-year change since Gallup has asked the question.

The drop comes amid a right-wing campaign to link LGBTQ people with "grooming" and pedophilia.

The right-wing campaign to tar LGBTQ people with false allegations of pedophilia appears to be having an impact on Republicans, a majority of whom said in a recent poll that same-sex relations were immoral.

In the poll last month, the latest edition of a survey that Gallup conducts annually, just 41% of Republicans said gay or lesbian relations were morally acceptable, a 15-percentage-point drop from 2022. It was the largest single-year change for any political group since Gallup started asking a similar question two decades ago.

Democratic approval also fell to 79% from 85%.

The share of independents saying same-sex relations are morally acceptable has remained steady in the Gallup poll in recent years, with 73% expressing approval in 2023 compared with 72% the year before.

1. It's amazing how many stupid people reside in

this country. Imagine being that susceptible to blatant propaganda.

[Dr. Shepper]

2. Looks like we have some of them on

Our side too. Ugh.

[Sky Jewels]

6. Yes it does.

Pathetic.

11. Everyone is susceptible to propaganda, sadly, but, uneducated suckers are especially vulnerable.

It’s amazing the vast stupidities people will believe. Just look at things like Q-Anon, the Comet Pizza saga, etc.

Allegiance to a political group makes people stupid.

3. These Republican attacks are leading to an ugly place.

I’ve forgotten the state, but recently there was a report of a guy shooting into a house he believed was occupied by LGBTQ+ people because he wanted to kill all the gays in his town. Sadly, I think that behavior and mind set are what Republicans are hoping for. I hope those who can move to a blue state where they’ll be safer, though there are pockets of crazies there too.

9. That's why LGBTQ+ need to own and carry a pistol.

15. GOP is stirring up the hate in blue states too

[Celerity]

4. And millions of these MAGAt fuckers live in deep Blue areas. And they are often

armed to the teeth. Nowhere is truly safe for us LGBTQ folk. And the targeting of us will only in increase amongst the RW motherfuckers.

[roamer65]

10. We will eventually have to shoot back in self-defense.

It’s coming, sadly.

[Elessar Zappa]

13. There's plenty of armed liberals too.

Conservatives might be surprised. Liberals aren’t going to roll over for them.

5. The movie "Idiocracy" was a documentary.

7. There has to be some conspiracy theory factory somewhere manufacturing this bullshit.

[roamer65]

8. Being a GQPer is IMMORAL.

I’m in favor of stoning.



…sort of…

[Celerity]

12. +1

it really is, as regardless of anyone's reasons for pulling the Red lever, the result is a catastrophic unleashing of malevolent ideology and power projection

[Demsrule86]

14. It is worthless Gallop poll.

[WarGamer]

16. Morality has no definition...

It's a word that means "Like me or not like me" (in this case)
