In its annual “Accelerating Acceptance” survey, GLAAD found that people ages 18-34 are increasingly uncomfortable in “personal scenarios” with LGBTQ people — like learning that a family member, doctor or child’s teacher is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
Nationwide, the support for “equal rights for the LGBT community” remained stable at 80 percent, GLAAD’s survey found. But the biggest drop in support identified by the LGBTQ rights group was among the youngest Americans. In 2016, 24 percent of respondents age 18-34 said they would feel uncomfortable with a LGBTQ family member; by 2018 that rose to 36 percent — about one in three. A similar rise was measured among the youngest group of respondents who say they would feel uncomfortable to learn their child was receiving an LGBTQ history lesson at school, from 27 percent to 39 percent.
"With the knowledge that erosion in acceptance was primarily happening among younger males, GLAAD launched a program dedicated to working with the video game industry on LGBTQ inclusion, to bring LGBTQ characters and stories to a world where male audiences were consuming content,"
I'm too busy trying to get a handle on myself to worry about who does what sexually with whom, or how they see themselves.
We’re not going back. We will continue to fight as a community for all our brothers, sisters, and siblings in the LGBTQ community. I will not accept us going backwards in our movement towards equality and acceptance for all. And neither will anyone else in our community/movement
too much TF much
VinAndSori I don’t think it will ever be an easy thing for people
Yeah its disgusting
It's not a spiritual or cultural norm; this is what our LGBT friends won't accept.
I'm gonna bet this survey was screwed up somehow.
Millennials.....
I find this hard to believe!
Because it is wrong! And they are being recruited to that lifestyle which is against their nature
Disappointing if true
Sounds like they accept the idea of it but don't want to actually have to think about it.
Trump has nothing to do with my Christian believes so don’t blame him. Just because I don’t approve of their lifestyles doesn’t mean I hate or fear them. 😵😮
Say what? Where did they perform this survey? In the Deep South where kids are brainwashed by parents and churches from the day they’re born? Because that’s not the young people I know!
Of course they are. So much judging and hate coming from the Republicans.
Why
what, did they survey a Southern Baptist church?
So how was a gay man elected Gov. of Colorado by same person s?
It's because it's recently been beat into us that they are some kind of victims in all facets of life and we must be extra careful not to trigger their victimhood. We used to just treat them like normal people....so it's an adjustment.
It used to be 'tolerance' that was pushed, then 'acceptance' and now you are painting a picture that someone is in the wrong for simply being uncomfortable? It most certainly is not wrong or unacceptable for people to feel the way they feel
Did you mean 43-81? 🤷🏽♀️
Are the researchers sure it isn't just sampling error?
Umm, well this is disheartening.
BS, you just give the mic to the wrong groups.
how uptight does one have to be, to even care about how someone else identifies?
My dad became a tranny at thanksgiving it was totally normal
And? People have a right to their own thoughts / feelings. Fascism is bad remember?
Leftists are evil sick people
It’s not that they don’t accept it it’s because if the amount of pressure everyone puts on it. And I’m sure it’s not easy for the other person either. but like when u can’t go get a coffee without forgetting who knows how many pronouns it makes u kinda think fuck it.
Glaad survey give me a break. 😂
Jeffrey McCall Ex-Transgender “ I'm Following Jesus Now” I spent years living a life as a transgender woman. I found God, and everything changed “ note: bondage lifestyles insulting when presented as equal with race or actual gender
Gays that use extra lisp-y and feminine voices and gestures are being fake people
I care because I am catholic and don’t want a she man in the same bathroom as my little girl. It’s gross and it’s not being sensitive it’s disgusting. There would be NO humanity if the world started with 2 guys.
I can't see why young people around my age are becoming more uncomfortable, it seems so odd.
Because people (unfortunately children) are very often mistakenly and inappropriately taught that all LGBTQ people are perverts, sex offenders, and pedophiles. The stereotyping that LGBTQ people have to endure is both mind-boggling and disturbing.
is it against the law to be uncomfortable or something?
Let me guess... it’s trumps fault. Maybe kids are tired of having other people’s sexual preferences paraded and pushed obsessively. Maybe they are wondering why veterans have a day and people who did nothing but be born gay somehow have marches and a month long celebration.
It's probably because they keep adding to the letters, I'm sure there are many people who support many of the letters but not all of them so when combined support would drop. It's also not very inclusive as it excludes the majority of people so maybe there is resentment?
Of course. Nobody wants their son/daughteror family member to be gay. Not that they wouldn’t accept it or be supportive. But I doubt nobody is comfortable with it
It’s because of all the BAKE THE CAKE OR DIE antics
This is true. Homos can be very touchy
I don’t feel people are more uncomfortable with “gay personal scenarios “ I feel people are more uncomfortable with gay scenarios being pushed everywhere especially on children. I’m gay but my gayness does not define who I am. So don’t come at me for being anti gay
They're entitled to their feelings. Don't discriminate and carry on.
You’re joking right? I call bs
Branbeast_ Imagine forging an entire identity about where you get your orgasms from...and then forcing it on everyone with corporate backing endlessly. So tiresome.
Wow, they're not conforming to what Godman-Sachs, the United Nations, McDonalds, and Netflix are telling them?
Yes it's true people don't like having shit shoved down their throats. You would think something like would know that with their failing support.
WHY WOULD THAT BE ! I though folks were becoming “tolerant” of others ! Maybe this is happening cause we have IGNORANT FOOLS IN THE WH ! tolerance= ✌️ peace
Why do people care so much about who everyone loves?
'Oh shit. You mean I might accidentally get caught up in a lawsuit or social-media campaign in the event I don't handle everything absolutely perfectly now?' is probably what they are thinking. Enemy of the people my eye (that's sarcasm).
A supreme court ruling doesn't equal acceptance. If people feel uncomfortable that's their business. You're just going to accept that.
How disappointing.
MemphoNewsLady People seem to be becoming uncomfortable in any situation that requires them to interact in person with another human, it seems. :(
boomers eternally btfo. based millenials will undo your destruction
Chick_fiI_A PrayTheGayAway works
Normal human instinct
The main problem I see is that some straights think that just because someone is gay, they'll automatically come onto them as if being gay makes you want to F everyone!~my own nephew doesn't want to be around his gay uncle~saying, he is gay so he must want to do me~thats F'd up!
I kind of don’t believe this
People probably feel a lot more emboldened to be open and honest about their bigotry now.
Its damn confusing that is what it is. Mental illness is also uncomfortable.
Never going to be easy but I find the constant shock should wear off if you indeed care about that person.
Yeah, I wonder why.
My god, what year is it? Get over it already!
