50 years ago this would have been "100% of churches affirm LGBTQ+ will be going straight to hell!"

Churches are the last bastion of "tradition" (OK, synagogues, too) including outdated values.

I think it is remarkable that in our lifetimes we have seen such profound progressive changes across the spectrum of society, and that includes organized religion which is trying to come along - as evidenced by the data!

We are ALL getting there!!!
