Young people in America overwhelmingly support LGBT rights when it comes to policies on employment, health care and adoption, according to a new survey.

The GenForward survey of Americans ages 18-30 found that support for those policies has increased over the past two years, especially among young whites. But relatively few of these young adults consider rights for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender to be among the top issues facing the United States.

According to the findings, 92 percent of young adults support HIV and AIDS prevention, 90 percent support equal employment, and 80 percent support LGBT adoption. Across racial and ethnic groups, broad majorities support training police on transgender issues, government support for organizations for LGBT youth and insurance coverage for transgender health issues. …

Gay is too ‘conservative’ now. Gotta keep pushing the envelope.

Bingo. These kids think it’s cool. Another way for outcasts to get attention.

Once the ruling elites are done with them they will be tossed to the curb.
The leftist democrats will put them on the plantation where the blacks have been living for years and they will have food stamps, welfare, a CELL PHONE, and whatever the government can give them free. There they will become uneducated, unmotivated, unhappy voting machines for the liberal elites to pull out every 4 years at will.

They’ll have even fewer kids than their parents did and, if they do, they’ll be even more screwed up than they are.

Yep. They will never know happiness, success. They will live like the peons live in Rio or Venezuela. Heck they will be lucky if they live like people in those countries do.

Being a glass-half-full type guy, I try and look at the bright side....

....In a few years, WBill Jr. will be able to take over the entire country armed with nothing more than harsh language and a butter knife. :-)

My dad said exactly this not long ago. We were talking about the grandkid (as usual) and he lamented that WBill Jr. will never know what it's like to "Have It Good".

I grew up much like my father. Mostly rural. Mostly on my own - help was never just a cell phone call away. If things went sideways, I needed to figure it out for myself. Everyone was mostly left alone by Big Brother. At the time, I thought it was boring. In retrospect, I Had It Good.

No more. We're in a Brave New World, now.

Anthony Kennedy cast the time breaking vote sanctioning homosexual acts in private as legal.

Signifying a decaying civilization unable to correctly assess right and wrong, and soon after, unfit to survive.

True...as a teen, the GLBT issue is way down on the list. I have a gay friend we love to fish and play lacrosse. He knows I'm straight, but we both agre that Hillary will be wrong for America..

We have seen gay/lesbians so it is no big deal...I know it is to older adults and I respect that...

To me and my friends, we have bigger issues in the elections...
