Support for Same-Sex Marriage Appears to Stall After Years of Growth, Gallup Finds
Republican support drove most of the decline as acceptance of gay and lesbian relations and gender transition also eased, Gallup said.
- U.S. public support for LGBTQ+ issues has plateaued and begun a modest downward slide, marking a notable shift after more than two decades of steadily increasing acceptance.
- The percentage of Americans who believe same-sex marriage should be legally valid has dropped to 65%, falling six percentage points from the record highs of 71% recorded in 2022 and 2023.
- The decline is heavily driven by widening political polarization, with moral acceptance of gay and lesbian relations dropping among Republicans to 35%—a 21-point plunge since 2022—while views among Democrats remained stable at 81%.
- Public acceptance of transgender issues has also faced a distinct downturn, with only 38% of U.S. adults now viewing changing one's gender as morally acceptable, down from 46% when Gallup first polled the question in 2021.
- Despite the recent multi-year dip, overall support remains substantially higher than historical baselines, as today's 65% approval for marriage equality stands in stark contrast to the mere 27% recorded three decades ago in 1996.
