Not All Accept Same-sex Marriage

Everyone assumed that same-sex marriage had become accepted in the USA. No, it has become a partisan issue again.

The Daily Signal reports:

A new poll is showing that support for same-sex marriage has dropped to a 10-year low among Republicans but spiked to a record high among Democrats. ...

Gallup reports that support for same-sex marriage among Republicans has fallen to 41%, down from an all-time high of 55% in 2021 and 2022 and the lowest point since May of 2016, when support stood at 40%. ...

Despite statistics on support for same-sex marriage, fewer Americans of all political stripes consider same-sex relationships morally acceptable. According to Gallup, only 38% of Republicans consider same-sex relationships morally acceptable, compared to 69% of independent voters and 86% among Democrats.

The decline in the perceived moral acceptability of same-sex relationships has been pronounced among Republicans.

Worldwide it is legal in most of Western Europe and the Western Hemisphere, but not Asia and Africa. This month has a lot Pride parades, but interest is declining, and it was canceled in Idaho.

All of the major religions still oppose same-sex marriage, including Islam, the major Christian denominations, Judaism, and Hinduism.

Most people answer the same when asked about the morality of same-sex relationships, and the legality of same-sex marriage. Somewhat more favor legality than moral acceptability. So some say that marriage should be allowed, even though the relationship is immoral. One could also thing the reverse -- that the relationships are moral, but not to be endorsed by government marriage.
