The Economist/YouGov’s July 25-27 poll of U.S. adults asks, “Do you think that same-sex marriage should or should not be legal?” 54 percent say legal, 34 percent say not legal, and 13 percent are unsure. The numbers are almost identical to those found by YouGov last October, which represented a notable decline; Gallup had not found support for same-sex “marriage” below 60 percent since 2015, the year the U.S. Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges ruling forced all 50 states to recognize homosexual unions as “marriages.”
As with YouGov’s previous poll, the framing of the issue around “legal/illegal” could be construed as implying some sort of punishment, while Gallup’s questioning more accurately asks whether same-sex unions should be “recognized by the law as valid, with the same rights as traditional marriages.” Yet the harsher-sounding question garnered less support for same-sex “marriage” than the milder one.
Still, the new poll indicates the last one was not an outlier, and LGBT activists are not regaining the ground they lost.
The Christian Post notes that Gallup’s most recent poll found support for same-sex marriage much higher at 65 percent, but that too was a drop from the 71 percent high Gallup found in 2022 and 2023.
READ: Former homosexual: Same-sex ‘marriage’ has been a disaster for children. We must overturn it
“The promise of ‘marriage equality’ was that it was simply about allowing committed same-sex couples to formalize their relationships. Americans were assured that nothing else would change,” Family Research Council president Tony Perkins wrote for the Post. “But that is not what happened,” with “pride parades in major cities where public nudity and sexually explicit displays are celebrated in full view of families and children”; “major corporations, universities, and professional sports organizations pressuring employees and athletes to affirm an ever-expanding list of sexual identities”; and a “growing commercial surrogacy industry that intentionally deprives children of either their mother, their father, or both.”
A substantial amount of social science literature supports the conclusion that children are best served by homes with both a mother and a father, as each sex brings unique strengths and emphases to parenting, which complement one another; and gives children a positive role model of their own sex as well as helping them to understand and relate to the opposite sex. By contrast, a male couple would by definition lack a mother, and a lesbian couple would be unable to provide a father.
Yet depriving children of both parents has been just one of the social ills exacerbated by the advent of same-sex “marriage,” ever since Obergefell. Undoing the ruling has long been a goal of social conservatives and constitutional textualists and originalists, but remains an uphill battle.
Three of the current sitting justices — Chief Justice John Roberts, and conservatives Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — dissented from Obergefell. The latter two are considered reliable votes to overturn if the chance arises, given statements both have made in the years since. But it is less certain how Roberts and the court’s three more recent Republican appointees would rule, given past statements about deferring to precedent and their mixed records on cases important to conservatives. In November 2025, the court declined to hear a case from former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis that could have reconsidered Obergefell.
What will the Episcopalians do now..
Seems like a good time to promote bans of homosexual adoption.
Where were the interviews done? As Scalia noted, the faith and backgrounds matter.
Interesting...
We Know what the Catholics are doing..
Are they something like this: "You're not a hateful homophobe that doesn't want two loving people to get married, are you?"
As is the support for opposite sex marriage.
It’s not marriage if it isn’t biblical!
Inshallah.
Gay advocates swore up and down that gay marriage was not the first step in a campaign to open marriage to a multitude of radical changes like multiple partners and pedophilia. They claimed that marriage would actually create more conservative, traditional homosexual couples who were just like everyone else. I think middle America bought into that out of some sense of inherent fairness. But, of course, it wasn’t true. Gay marriage was simply the first step to radical, hardcore further steps including transgender policies that the most hardcore 1990s Leftist probably never dreamed of. In your face, you will submit policies. People finally are wising up that the radical Left never will be satisfied. Like the old CCR song says, when you ask how much we should give, their only answer is “More More More!”
Becoming more unpopular among lesbians.
What does a gay man bring on a second date?
A second date????
What does a lesbian bring on a second date?
A U-Haul full of her stuff, 2 cats and a potted plant.
This doesn't have an effect overnight, but over a timescale of election cycles this will be a rip tide working against liberals attempting to maintain their grip on government.
‘We Know what the Catholics are doing..’
Assisting and profiting from mass illegal immigration and human trafficking.
Coincidence? I don’t think so.
WNBA star Brittney Griner is getting divorced from wife Cherelle
https://www.bostonherald.com/2026/08/03/wnba-brittney-griner-divorce-cherelle/
Yep! Let the deviants out of the closet and they went right after the children in their kindergartens. The closet kept them reminded what they were and where what they did belonged.
“In the long run homosexual ‘marriage’ is an aberration that will die off.”
Agreed.
It will be the homosexuals themselves who will bury it.
The data is sketchy and probably a bit “curated” by political correctness:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_of_same-sex_couples
However the legal quagmire of divorce will work its will over time.
Most of these “couples” will end up in court—and the word will get out among friends and family.
I see and hear ALL THAT nonsense from the media and it's MOSTLY balderdash, using statistics that THEY got from some site that didn't know its butt from a broom. It absurd that those false statistics are quoted as if they came straight from God.
Real statistics? I don't even know WHO might have them. I think that the military and Trump's folks would have the real truth but we won't ever hear more than a few bits of truth. And, to be honest, maybe I don't WANNA hear all the truth.
Only if there's a purpose. After the debate on CNN, it was okay to talk about Joe Biden. John King got the order. Others followed his lead.
Leviticus 18:22 states: "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable".
Leviticus 20:13 states: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death".
Our Bible puts out that information fairly early. So, who could POSSIBLY believe that same sex relations are anything but sinful, evil -- the devil's attempt to deceive?
Same sex adoption? Puleez...
