For the first time in four years, Americans are less accepting of LGBT people, a survey finds — a setback activists say is stunning but not unexpected after a turbulent 2017.
Fewer than half of non-LGBT adults — 49% — said they were “very” or “somewhat” comfortable around LGBT people in certain scenarios, according to the Accelerating Acceptance report released Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. That number was down from 53% in 2016.
The survey, conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of LGBT media advocacy group GLAAD, reflects an about-face from positive momentum reflected in polls GLAAD has commissioned since 2014.
“We are surprised at the scale and the swiftness” in the erosion of tolerance in the course of one year, Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD president and CEO, told USA TODAY. “But if you are LGBT and living in America, you are seeing this every day.”
Well saidThis idea that I require some sort of acceptance from people I’ve never met and don’t care about is absurdly arrogant. We have the love and support of my family and friends. The rest can get bent for all I care.
Probably just sick and tired of with all the Gay news over the last several years.

Now that republicans can’t stop them from getting married or from visiting loved ones dying in hospitals, it’s no wonder sympathy for them is down. They are less discriminated against than ever. Still a ways to go though.

I think we thought maybe these freaks would become somewhat normal, but they still are having their pride parades dressing in skimpy outfits in front of children and decent people or parading around as satanic transvestites teaching 1st graders the joy of anal sex. Fuck them. Send these perverts all back into the closet where they belong.Probably just sick and tired of with all the Gay news over the last several years.

I think that choosing that life style comes with the baggage that will always be attached as long as there is organized religion. If you choose that lifestyle I think you should expect and accept the consequences of your choice.Fags deserve everything they get. Aids included

People tend to rebel when something is shoved down their throats...
I think Americans are becoming less tolerant of liberals in general.

The universal UN agenda of accepting homosexuality as normal, dumb ass.

Apparently, TheOldFool thinks that severe sexual abuse of children is funny. Why do I not find this surprising?
