After a year of relentless attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, a majority of Republican voters now believe that same-sex relationships are “immoral”. A Gallup poll published on June 16 found only 41 percent of Republicans say same-sex relationships are morally acceptable. The number marks a drop of 15 percentage points from 2022 when 56 percent of Republicans thought that same-sex relationships were morally acceptable. Gallup pointed out that this was the largest single-year change in the past two decades. Overall, 64 percent of American voters say that same-sex relationships are morally acceptable. Gallup said Americans’ opinions on the morality of various issues have mostly become more liberal over the past two decades, but the two biggest changes this past year, on same-sex relations and the death penalty, have been in a more conservative direction. The poll comes after a state of emergency was declared for LGBTQ+ people in the US by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) due to laws banning gender-affirming care, drag, and trans people playing sports on the correct team passing in states across the country. Shortly after HRC’s statement, the Department for Homeland Security warned that the LGBTQ+ community could be at risk of terror attacks during the 2024 US presidential race.
