Gallup Poll: Majority Now Say Gay Sex, Unwed Births, Are Morally OK

A Gallup poll shows that a majority of Americans now believe that sexual relations between two men or two women, and unmarried women having a baby, are morally acceptable.

In the new survey, 59 percent of American adults answered that gay or lesbian relations are morally acceptable, a 19 percentage point increase since 2001 when only 40 percent said it was morally acceptable.

Sixty percent of respondents said that having a baby outside of marriage was morally acceptable, a 15 percentage point increase since 2002 when only 45 percent said it was morally acceptable.

Of the 20 issues which Gallup asked about their moral acceptability, same-sex sexual relations and unwed pregnancies saw the greatest increases. They were also the only issues which changed from a minority to a majority of the country finding them morally acceptable over the past decade.

The other large increases in moral acceptability were: sex between an unmarried man and woman went from 53 to 63 percent, divorce went from 59 to 63 percent, and medical research using stem cells from human embryos went from 52 to 60 percent.

The only large decline in moral acceptability was for medical testing on animals, which went from 65 to 56 percent.

Liberals have total control of voice and “expert” testimony on the consequencies of out of wedlock birth and homosexual behaviors. No mention of the poverty and the disease right now. It’s like the 70’s.

This will change as long as there are honest, pro-life people around. There is a silent majority who know better.

It is part of the brainwashing of the young and naïve. The gay movement is part of pop culture that gay people are usually successful, well-educated, quiet people who are usually independent from criticism. As I have predicted for a few years, the next stop is sports and that is where you will see the growth of homosexual issues. Don't be shocked if we have a mandatory gay day in baseball or if the NFL paints rainbows on each uniform for one game.

If you use the words “morally okay” versus the words “healthy and properous” you get different results. Gays live an average of 46 years because of the disease of their ‘lifestyle” and the poverty and social/criminal problems of children raised without dads is clear.

Fat lie. The sex positive agenda doesn’t care about “moral acceptability” They seek to end ALL moral judgments over ALL sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).

It isn’t about becoming “Acceptable”. It’s about ending all judgments of any kind.

**Majority Now Say Gay Sex, Unwed Births, Are Morally OK**

NOT

Two quotes — probably I’m paraphrasing here.

“Male and female he created them.” “Go forth and multiply.”

On the unwed births — maybe someone else has a direct Biblical quote.

I realized a few years ago that the destruction of all sexual morality is intrinsic to communit ideology, practice and method. Why is that? I can only speculate, it would require me to write a long article.

But here may be a few salient points:

As a rule they don’t believe in God, or if they claim to, it’s not an actual conviction in truth. The three fathers of leftist ideology (of course there are others) are Freud, Marx and Darwin. What do those three teach us? There is no God in control, humans have no souls and are just meat machines, there is no eternal or immutable truth (ahem, other that what leftists believe at the moment...), or morality or good and evil (ahem, other than what leftists currently pronounce), and there is no purpose, plan or meaning to human life or to the universe.

So...why not just screw everything that walks? Why not just live like an animal since humans are just animals? Heck, actually worse than animals, just meat machines with electric impulses making them twitch.

Those who study prophecy in scripture are not surprised.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

It’s an obviously “massaged” poll. Can’t trust Gallup anymore. So many of our formerly trusted edifices are crumbling under leftist takover and being used for propaganda purposes.

I learned a lot about polls from getting the Zogby polls for several years. I just plain do not believe them any more.

You do realize that the South has higher rates of out of wedlock births than the northeast, do you not?
