Gallup: Majority Say Gay/Lesbian Relations Morally Acceptable

A recent poll out from
Gallup shows 54 percent of Americans consider ?gay or lesbians
relations" "morally acceptable,? while 42 percent say gay or
lesbian relations are ?morally wrong.? Gallup has been asking this
question since 2001. At the time, results were clearly flipped with
53 percent saying homosexual relations are morally wrong, and 40
percent saying morally acceptable. Acceptance eclipsed in 2008 and
has continued to increase since this time.
 
Support for same-sex marriage has closely mirrored acceptance of
gay and lesbian relations. For the first time, in 2011 Gallup found
majority support for same-sex marriage and has since maintained
marginal majority support.
 
Gallup also demonstrates the increasingly polarized
nature-versus-nurture debate over homosexuality. When Gallup first
asked the question in 1977, thirteen percent believed ?being gay or
lesbian [was] something a person [was] born with.? In contrast 56
percent said, ?being gay or lesbian [was] due to factors such as
upbringing and environment.? These numbers steadily coalesced until
2001 so that the electorate was evenly divided and has since stayed
polarized.
