According to a new poll by Pew Research, black Americans remain firmly in support of gender equality but are split when it comes to transgender and nonbinary issues.
Nearly 70 percent of Black adults think the U.S. has not gone far enough in giving women equal rights with men, and 86 percent think that mothers and fathers should share parenting responsibilities.
However, when it comes to accepting transgender and non-binary people, the issue gets a little more complex. Only 36 percent of Black adults say that society has not gone far enough in accepting people who are transgender, however, 31 percent say that the level is just right. Furthermore, 29 percent say that it has gone too far.
Unsurprisingly, views also differ depending on their political perspective. Just 48 percent of self-identifying Black conservatives think that it is important to address equality for Black transgender people, while 69 percent of liberals believe it is important to do so.
Religion also plays a large factor. Those attending religious services weekly are 17 percent more likely to say that views on transgender and nonbinary issues in society are changing too quickly.
