Americans’ approval of gays hikes by 21 percentage points
Washington Times ^ | 2/26/14

Posted on 02/26/2014 4:42:06 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

Americans may not be able to agree on immigration reform, or education policy, or military spending — but on gays, they’re speaking loud and clear: More and more are approving of same-sex marriage than ever before, Pew Research found.

Between 2003 and 2013, overall support for gay marriage has risen by 21 percentage points — from 32 percent in 2003 to 53 percent in 2013, Pew’s Public Religion Research Institute found, in a survey released on Wednesday.

The homosexual complex is trying to apply a full court press on the public now expecially as Brewer in AZ considers allowing Christians to be arrested and prosecuted for refusing to participate in the perversity parade.

This ‘poll’ spans 2003-2013 is hardly new or accurate. It is meaningless except to message kowtowing media and corporate elements to continue to tow the line.

But have they forgotten the outrage of the Duck Dynasty flap just a little while ago? They don’t care. They want talking points in the hands of their soldiers who are ordered to go after Brewer’s office.

Brewer will likely fold like a cheap suit but the war is just getting started. We will unite in figuring out how to beat their game. And one tactic is not to attack but to defend the 1st Amendment which is starting now. The battle at Brewer’s office will be lost but there will be many many such battles ahead. The key is to unite and remain united.

Why is the percentage rise of the perverted acceptance of gays tied to Hussein's dismal approval numbers?

What I would like to know is when is the Obama Administration going to cut off all diplomatic relations with Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc for their treatment of gays?

The problem is most Americans don’t know any gays. Most of them leave where they live and go to the largest cities in the USA. So there is a major disconnect between reality and fantasy. One evening in a bathhouse would send the numbers plummeting...

Promoting recreational sex of all sorts, especially homosexualism,
is the one area where government schools have met their objective.

I teach an adult class and have some of the same issues. Some think homosexuals are “born” that way.

Nor do I. My militant far left lesbian cousin recently announced that she’s GOP proud along with a whole army of her lesbian friends. She then marched off to work for the Wendy Davis campaign in Texas.

Too bad the GOP is so stupid and desperate that they eat them up.

The only way we were ever going to defeat this abomination was through a constitutional amendment. Now it looks like that window may have closed. Future generations will pay the price for our lack of diligence. WE are the ones who let these vermin infest the temple.

Notice how this agenda has been advanced since the 1960s through television/movies

1960/70s have a homo character but make him the silly person...the screw up...the but of jokes. But he’s on the show. Besides, everyone likes a good laugh.

1980s. slowly introduce a serious homo character onto a show...maybe one or two episodes....just getting the audience used to it

1990s. more homo characters introduced....even have the top rated sitcom do a show on it and declare, “not that there’s anything wrong with it.

2000s. homo characters/shows become the norm....and to some extent are pushed more than others.

In the span of about 40-50 years we’ve gone from no homo characters to a bevy of homo characters and you can track society’s approval of homo behavior accordingly.

I don’t know if it’s “approval,” a lot of people I talk to, it’s more of a case of resignation, as it seems like no higher ups are willing to stand up to this nonsense, so if nobody is willing fight, why should we? (Being rhetorical there, of course, we should fight).

Nobody asked me. I have never been polled in my entire life for anything.

That is about 2X’s higher than any credible study ever put the instance of homosexuality. It is believed to be around 1.7% of the over all population. That includes children and the elderly who are not engaging in regular, consenting, sexual activity. IOW 1.7% is even too high.

Studies show that most young people believe that homosexuals encompass over 25% of the population and given the constant gay drum beat, who can blame them?

>>>Every one of the high school kids in my Sunday School class did not know that homosexuality is a sin.

Well...that pretty much sums up the state of the church today: Ignorance. The church has failed to teach doctrine...and we are paying the price. I would bet many of those kids are also ignorant of some fundamental aspects of the gospel.

No need to “suspect.” He says it in Romans 1.
