Young people are often assumed to be progressive, especially when it comes to gay rights. But a new study reveals that acceptance of the LGBTQ community by adults 18 to 34 is falling.
A new Harris Poll commissioned by GLAAD found that 36 percent of respondents in that demographic reported they'd be "very" or "somewhat" uncomfortable learning a family member was LGBTQ. That's up from 29 percent who said the same in 2018.
According to the 2019 Accelerating Acceptance Index, 39 percent would be unsettled by their child learning about LGBTQ history in school, compared to just 30 percent in 2018. And finding out their doctor was LGBTQ made a third (34 percent) uncomfortable—an uptick from 27 percent last year.
"The younger generation has traditionally been thought of as a beacon of progressive values," GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. "We have taken that idea for granted."
Conducted online earlier this year, the poll quizzed 1,970 U.S. adults on their comfort level with seven theoretical situations: Learning a family member is LGBTQ, learning their doctor is LGBTQ, having LGBTQ members at their place of worship, seeing a LGBTQ co-worker's wedding picture, having their child placed in a class with a LGBTQ teacher, seeing a same-sex couple holding hands, and learning their child was learning LGBTQ history in school.
The number of young Americans who were comfortable across all seven situations dropped from 53 percent in 2018 to 45 percent this year, the second consecutive dip for the age bracket.

It’s a funny one for sure - so many uses
[But Democrats love degenerates]
Yes they do
[Every show, even reality shows, HAVE to include the sodomites, lesbians and female/male things. Even young people are starting to find it repulsive.]
It’s a cornerstone on HGTV especially the last few years.
Which is why I don’t watch much HGTV any more. Didn’t watch a lot but a few shows. Seems like 1/3 of EVERY episode jams in some sort of liberal social engineering.
Actually I go back earlier, having found FR from Drudge early in the Lewinsky thing. But when I switched from a Mac to a Windows computer I managed to lose my original sign in info. So it was actually from a few years before that—I was estimating conservatively!
And I don’t want to even think about how many posts I have made here since...
I’m 28 and I am far less tolerant of these people since the past few years.
Why?
Because they’ve gone from asking to be left alone (which I support) to demanding that everyone has to endorse their sexual behavior and that we have to normalize their often bizarre fetishes, kinks, and perversions. Further, they want access to our children. That’s not a possibility to me.
And to me when I hear ‘LGBTQ’ the first thing I think of is a bully.
And I LOATHE bullies!!!
