Submission statement: Two professors discuss their research that shows Americans turning against gay people in public opinion in recent years.
Notably, although the shift is most pronounced among conservatives, it’s still present among liberals. Additionally, the authors argue against two explanations they say aren’t supported by the data: 1) a tangential effect of rising anti-trans sentiment and 2) the effect of moral panic language surrounding “grooming.”
A depressing read but it’s important to be clear-headed about where we are, and to realize how quickly all this progress can go away.

I’m finding it hard to follow this article without clearer charting of the data, but generally I don’t think this is well supported when evaluating polling on the subject as a whole. Gallup numbers on gay marriage, for instance, have been essentially steady for the whole of the 2020s

The 21st century camp builders are turning against the gays, well that’s surprising.
