Conservative Americans Think They Are Winning Their War on Equality

Poll chart from Gallup.

From the Daily Wire:

According to a recent Gallup poll, support for legal same-sex marriage has flattened among Democrats—and dipped among Republicans—dropping across the board from 71% in 2022 and 2023 to 65% as of May 2026. The survey also found that only 62% of U.S. adults—the lowest number since 2016—view same-sex relationships as morally acceptable.

Yeah, because loving someone of the same sex is so bad? Well, the Daily Wire is run by Ben Shapiro who, in 2010, argued that homosexuality should not have been removed as a mental illness. That’s about as mentally deranged you can become.

But the situation is not hopeless. If you read the Gallup poll at the source, you’ll find the cause:

Most of the recent changes in LGBTQ+ attitudes have occurred among Republicans. For example, in 2021 and 2022, 55% of Republicans said they favored legal same-sex marriage, but today, the figure is 37%. Among independents, support has dropped six points, to 67%, while Democrats’ views are the same as in 2022 (87% in favor).

As always, conservatism is proven immoral.
