The drop in support has been led by Republicans, Gallup found in its annual Values and Beliefs poll.
The survey, Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs poll, was conducted between May 1 and 24 among a random sample of 1,011 adults living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Participants are seen at the 2023 LA Pride Parade on June 11, 2023 in Hollywood, California. Support for same-sex relationships has dropped among Americans, a Gallup poll has found.The fall in the number of Americans who think that gay and lesbian relationships are morally acceptable—down seven percentage points—was the most significant in the entire list of issues on which Gallup questioned respondents.
The fall was driven by Republicans, according to Gallup. While 56 percent of Americans identifying as Republicans found same-sex relationships morally acceptable in 2022, only 41 percent do so this year. It is the lowest figure reported in Gallup's annual survey since 2014—when it was 39 percent—undoing almost a decade of increasing support on the issue.
According to the poll, 71 percent of Americans think it should remain legal—matching the number reported last year.
