Anti-Gay Bigotry Is Backfiring: Poll Finds Gay People More Popular Than
Evangelicals Who is more popular, gay people who want to marry the ones they love, or evangelical Christians who want discriminate against the ones they hate? Increasingly, American voters are choosing love. Despite all the vitriol surrounding the gay rights movement, a new poll suggests Americans are warming to the idea of equality, while finding very little to approve of coming from the evangelical camp. Commissioned by the Human Rights Campaign, the poll asked likely 2016 voters about their feelings towards various groups. Surprisingly, they found increasing gay acceptance, even from people with backgrounds not always known for welcoming homosexuality like Catholics and seniors. On the flip side, these same voters seem to be tiring of evangelical Christians. As U.S. News summarized: 53 percent of respondents held a favorable view of gay people, while 42 percent held a favorable view of evangelical Christians. Meanwhile, 18 percent of the likely voters surveyed held an unfavorable view of gay people, while 28 percent held a negative view of evangelical Christians. Interestingly, the popularity of evangelical Christians mirrors the favorables and unfavorables of gay people in 2011, when 40 percent of those polled felt positively about gays and lesbians and 25 percent held a negative view. There was no comparison polling released on how the electorate felt about evangelicals three years before. http://tinyurl.com/kgargc9 First thing, round up the evangelicals and make them eat cake from a gay-owned bakery. ![]() |
