A new Gallup poll finds support for same-sex marriage and relationships in the U.S. has stopped rising after two decades.

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.

    While I agree, I think there may be a limit to a morally-flexible any government can be. It’s entirely possible that the goals and evidence point the government in a direction that some find immoral.

    Heck, there’s voters in the U.S. that would consider instructing someone on how to do a D&C an immoral act. But, the evidence is that D&Cs save lives and the government should (at least) help fund their instruction.

    Separately, but also religion-related, what is “evidence”? It wouldn’t surprise me to hear some people claiming their faith not only is evidence, but is also better evidence than the observations of flawed, human “scientists”.
