Morality of Gays: A Drastic Change in Public Opinion
June 18, 2008 by Editor
A poll from Gallup reveals some interesting numbers when it comes to American’s thoughts on the “morality” of our gayness.
Americans interviewed in Gallup’s 2008 Values and Beliefs poll are evenly divided over the morality of homosexual relations, with 48% considering them morally acceptable and 48% saying they are morally wrong.
While similar to last year’s results, current attitudes are more affirming of gays than what Gallup found at the start of the decade when the majority said such relations were morally wrong.
Still, homosexuality emerges as the most divisive of 16 major social and cultural issues measured in the May 8-11, 2008 survey. Only doctor-assisted suicide and abortion come close to it in splitting public opinion.
Yay! This is so inspiring and uplifting to see, and although if I could draw that chart of how it SHOULD be it would obviously look different but it’s still nice to see.
