About 65% of U.S. adults believe same-sex marriage should be legal, down slightly from 71% in 2022 and 2023.


In a sign that views of LGBTQ+ issues may be shifting more broadly, the new Gallup poll found that about 4 in 10 Americans view changing one’s gender as morally acceptable, down from nearly half in 2021.

    4 in 10 Americans view changing one’s gender as morally acceptable

    In some Islamic societies it’s considered immoral for women to show their hair.
    Both viewpoints are equally moronic, and have nothing to do with morality.

      I swear, if the Christian heaven exists and St Peter is there at the gates, this is how it will go for those people:

      St. Peter: “Let’s see… It says here that you proclaimed that it’s immoral for a person to change their gender because it’s ‘against God’s plan.’”

      Self-described Christian: “Yes. That’s correct.”

      St. Peter: “But it also says that you had surgery to remove tumors and had your wisdom teeth taken out.”

      Self-described Christian: “Uh, yes. What does that have to do with anything?”

      St. Peter: “According to your regular proclamations of absolute morality, what you’re born with is God’s plan… So by that logic, having surgery of any kind is immoral. Hypocrisy is a great sin”

      Self-described Christian: “That’s not the same thing! I just did what my doctors told me to do! They’re the medical experts, not me.”

      St. Peter: “So if doctors recommended a person get their sex changed, then it would be OK?”

      Self-described Christian: “No. Those would be incredibly immoral doctors!”

      St Peter: “I see. Ya know, Jesus harshest words were reserved for hypocrites.” (He presses the button and Self-described Christian drops down into hell)

      St Peter: “NEEEEXT!”

      Atheist: “I uh… Just tried to be nice.”

      St. Peter, as he unlocks the gates: “Welcome to heaven!”
