A personal blog by a graying (mostly Anglo with light African-American roots) gay left leaning liberal progressive married college-educated Buddhist Baha'i BBC/NPR-listening Professor Emeritus now following the Dharma in Minas Gerais, Brasil.
The
slight majority of American adults, 54%, consider gay or lesbian
relations morally acceptable. Public acceptance of gay/lesbian relations
as morally acceptable grew slowly but steadily from 38% in 2002 to 56%
in 2011 and is now holding at the majority level. This Gallup trend
mirrors the growth in public support for legalizing gay marriage, which
has risen from 42% support in 2004 to 50% or greater support in the last
two years. Americans' support for gay rights on both questions leveled
off in this year's Values and Beliefs poll, conducted May 3-6.
