Gallup: Same-Sex Marriage Support Drops to 65%
Gallup said the decline is driven mainly by Republicans, even as same-sex marriage remains legal nationwide and a majority still support it.
- 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.
