Poll: Young Americans’ LGBTQ Acceptance Plunges 63% to 45% in Two Years
Breitbart ^ | 6/27/19 | Susan Berry

Posted on 06/27/2019 12:22:38 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

A survey produced by the Harris Poll in partnership with Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) finds young Americans’ comfort with LGBTQ individuals has plunged from 63 percent in 2016 to 45 percent in 2018. According to the Accelerating Acceptance report, Americans aged 18-34 who say they are comfortable interacting with LGBTQ people dropped from 63 percent in 2016 to 53 percent in 2017, and then to 45 percent in 2018. The survey results are published as lesbian, gay, and transgender activists celebrate Pride month. “At the same time, the Trump administration continues to attack the LGBTQ community through discriminatory policies and targeted rhetoric, and LGBTQ Americans are becoming more vulnerable to hate crimes and violence,” GLAAD said in response to the survey outcome. Among the survey’s findings are that the acceptance of LGBTQ individuals among young women dropped from 65 percent in 2016 to 64 percent in 2017, and then plunged to 52 percent in 2018. Among males, 62 percent were accepting in 2016, plunging to 40 percent in 2017, and then further down to 35 percent in 2018. The percentage of young Americans who said they were uncomfortable with an LGBTQ family member increased from 24 percent in 2016, to 29 percent in 2017, and then to 36 percent in 2018. Additionally, the discomfort of young Americans has increased with the thought of their child’s placement with an LGBTQ teacher, from 25 percent in 2016 to 29 percent in 2017, and then to 33 percent in 2018. Also, 39 percent of younger Americans said they were uncomfortable discovering their child experienced an LGBTQ school lesson, compared with 30 percent in 2017 and 27 percent in 2016”

The culture of perversity is toxic.

I guess it has nothing to do with many gays being unlikable abrasive people?

I don’t think it’s the mean tweets. I think people are tired of them cramming it down our throats. Demanding special accommodations. Every new tv show chock full of the perversion.

”...the decline in young Americans’ acceptance of LGBTQ is surprising, given their contact with more people who identify as such...”

On the contrary, it’s entirely understandable why greater contact with degenerates would make one less willing to accept them.

I have a professional acquaintance who is a gay male. We get along professionally, but we have little social interaction, since we live miles apart. I don't endorse his behavior, but that's separate from our professional relationship. If we lived closer, I'm not sure we could keep the professional relationship closed off from friendship. Fortunately that's not a current problem.

The people that became LGBTQ as a phase or fad are aging out of the demographic, and the younger kids just were never into it.

I’ve worked with and around both gays and lesbians.

Dykes are fun but occasionally hostile. Fems make
good ‘buddies.’

Male queers are always pushing for approval.

Because when I was a kid it was “we just want to be accepted” now it’s “accept me, or else!”

the more people know about the lifestyle, the more it makes sense not to condone it...

Pride month showed a lot of behavior to not be proud of

The LGBTQ is no longer a “New Toy”—it has become tarnished. The real world is showing itself though the Liberal fantasy.

Right. And, in addition, despite the media’s fawning attempts to make the “LGBTQ struggle” into some kind of epoch-defining movement, it’s really just a glorified fad. And fads fade out.

This just one example of a group that's overplayed its hand by going in full idiot mode over Hillary not winning and Trump being President.

Quite a few of those holding overplayed hands are going to be folding this year and next. That's exactly what the censorship machine running amok at Google and others is trying to avoid, having to face up to the fact that they have far less support than they thought their money had bought them.

It’s the constant push to normalize the abnormal.

Kids aren’t stupid.

As the perversion it forced into their face by the media, they become disgusted.

It’s not difficult to understand.

Because when I was a kid it was “we just want to be accepted” now it’s “accept me, or else!”

After gay marriage became the law of the land, the LGBT lobby decided the next course of action was to embark on a campaign to punish everyone who ever stood in their way.

"We're going to contact 60+ bakers in Colorado until we find a fundamentalist Christian who refuses to provide us a wedding cake decorated with men assf*cking and fellating each other and then we're going to sue him into bankruptcy!"

Add to this the repugnant transgendering and open sexualization of prepubescent children and now they wonder why acceptance rates are falling from those they once counted as allies.

Wow...are younger people FINALLY discovering when you give LGQueer etc an inch they just won’t quit. It’s 24x7 in-your-face with those people.

Then the article says this: “...the Trump administration continues to attack the LGBTQ community through discriminatory policies and targeted rhetoric, and LGBTQ Americans are becoming more vulnerable to hate crimes and violence”

What a steaming pant-load of horse apples. I’ve not heard a single thing from the Trump administration on LG crapola, no “targeted rhetoric,” and certainly no implementation of discriminatory policies. There’s as much proof behind this BS as there is behind Global Warming / Climate Change / Climate Catastrophe, etc

Maybe the nonstop parade of every corporation, tv show, movie, singer, etc now supporting “HOMO month” finally broke the camel’s back.

I must be older than you because, when I was a kid, it was just “Stay out of our bedroom.” There was nothing at all about acceptance at the start of all this crap.

They are now seeing what it is like to have a Protected Class.
My niece is starting to flip back from a crazy leftist to realizing she has been lied to.

Another woman friend of mine is starting to question anything which is in the media or print for the same reason.
