Public support for the LGBT lifestyle choices, and the accompanying activism, is plunging. It’s even down significantly among Democrats, who through the agenda of Barack Obama and Joe Biden had been active promoters of the ideology.
A polling from Gallup reveals that, “Currently, 5% of Republicans say changing one’s gender is morally acceptable, compared with 42% of independents and 60% of Democrats. When Gallup first asked the question in 2021, those figures were 22%, 48% and 67%, respectively.
“Republicans’ acceptance has declined steadily since then, while views among independents and Democrats were generally stable until an apparent drop this year.”
Of course, transgenderism is a fable, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level and does not change.
Gallup explained, “After two decades of rising support for LGBTQ+ issues, U.S. attitudes have plateaued and begun to slide back modestly. Approval of same-sex marriage, moral acceptance of gay and lesbian relations, and endorsement of gender changes are all down from peaks reached in the early 2020s.
“While most Americans still favor legal same-sex marriages, the 65% who do so today is down six percentage points from the peak in 2022 and 2023. Similarly, the percentage viewing gay or lesbian relations as morally acceptable, 62%, has not been lower since 2016. And the share of Americans who consider changing one’s gender morally acceptable has declined eight points over the past five years, to 38%.”
The polling said “pro-LGBTQ+ attitudes peaked about five years ago,” which would have been at the outset of Biden’s tenure in Washington, and his all-out, whole of government promotion of the ideology, especially transgenderism including body mutilating procedures on children.
“The change has come as conservative leaders have pushed back against diversity, equity and inclusion programs that were intended to foster greater acceptance of LGBTQ+ people and other historically disadvantaged groups,” Gallup said.
The results are from a Values and Beliefs survey, conducted May 1-17, 2026.
“Between 1996 and 2022, the percentage of U.S. adults in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage increased by 44 points, from 27% to 71%. In 2024, the figure dipped to 69%, and it has shown a marginal decline each year since,” the polling confirmed.
“Gallup first asked about the morality of same-sex relations in 2001, when 40% said they were morally acceptable. By 2022, 71% held that view, before a sharp drop to 64% in 2023, holding at about that level during the past three years.”
And, it said, “When Gallup first asked about changing one’s gender in 2021, 46% found it morally acceptable, and 51% found it morally wrong. Today, those numbers stand at 38% and 57%, respectively.”
Gallup said at one point 55% of Republicans favored legal same-sex marriage, but that has plummeted now to 37%.
Independents on that issue were down six points to 67%.
