Forums - General - Americans' Acceptance of Gay Relations Crosses 50% Threshold (With Graphs!)

Holy shit that last poll is damn close. 37% think environment makes you gay, 36% think you're born with gayness.

I'm with the people who said environment.


The rest of the polls are interesting too.

Funny how it's the Christians that are the ones which are ignorant of other people

Ignorant of themselves as well. The amount of priests molesting children(both boys and girls) is extremely high.

And they get away unpunished. The state even keeps paying them their loan. Might as well free all child molesters and give them jobs in a nursery schools while we're at it.

Bit of a tricky one.

From a religous person's point of view God made humans in his image so maybe it was the environment because god doesn't promote homosexuality.

But on the other hand God loves everyone equally and because he created humans in his own image he MUST have made humans intentionally knowing their characteristics. (Being all knowing and all powerful and all that )

Only because if you dont approve your a 'hater'.

 

Just like the hole illegal alien issues. If you dont want free open borders, with no border checks and millions of people walking into our country with weapons then your a Hater, or an racist.

 

 

Well I can see a negative impact of people coming here illegally. Not so much with gay relations though.

I know Gay people dont hurt other people, but they both have the same result if you dont like one then your a hater.

 

(Btw im not against gay people, just dont be grabbin another mans ass in front of me)

trying to overcompensate for something?

No, its just indecency.



that's good, though the fact it's only 50% and that it took this long to get there is pretty poor.

Pretty amazing figures

I imagine UK is like 75/25 or higher.

You'd be surprised...

 

It is up.  However 36% of Britions think Homosexuality is mostly or always wrong.

Additionally another 10% say rarely wrong.

39% said never wrong.

So it's more 39%/36%.

One question, what was the cause of the sudden decline in 2003? Where it went from its strongest (60%) to its second weakest since 1989 (46%). I can't think of what event occurred at this point.

Interesting, I thought we'd come further than that! I rarely see intolerance towards homosexuality, I guess I'm just fortunate.
