For the third year in a row, a narrow majority of Americans consider gay and lesbian relations morally acceptable, signaling that this is the new “new normal” in public opinion, according to a new Gallup Poll released Monday just days after President Barack Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage.

More than half of American adults, 54 percent, say gay or lesbian relations are morally acceptable — including 66 percent of Democrats and just 36 percent of Republicans — while 42 percent think they are morally wrong, Gallup found. Since 2010, a slight majority of Americans have found gay relations to be acceptable. Last year, 56 percent said same-sex relations are morally acceptable.

“Americans’ acceptance of gays and lesbians as equal members of society has increased steadily in the past decade to the point that half or more now agree that being gay is morally acceptable, that gay relations ought to be legal, and that gay or lesbian couples should have the right to legally marry,” Gallup said.

Well, do you remember Brokeback Mountain?

The liberals at the time praised that movie as breaking new ground, making a statement, and all of that.

It was even nominated for the best picture Academy Award.

But, there have been no other major movies made featuring homosexual romance. Why not?

Brokeback didn’t do too well at the box office. Could it be that, even if people are more tolerant/accepting/resigned to homosexuality nowadays, that they still don’t want it in their face, when they see a movie or watch TV????

Well, gay characters are common on TV nowadays. The gay friend on a sitcom has become a cliche. But just wait until they try to move into gay romantic issues. That’s where they may find blowback.

This isn’t surprising in the least. It’s a poll of “adults.”
