U.S. support for LGBTQ+ rights is declining after decades of support. Here’s why

[Felis Leo]

Grooming is older men coming on to young men to turn them into sexual performers for their sexual gratification. The 30 year old goes after the naïve 20 year old.

That is not what grooming is. Do you think that is what people are talking about when they refer to gays as “groomers”? Is a 30 year old man straight man “grooming” a twenty year old college student if he asks her out on a date in the hopes of having sex with her?

The Bible does that such behavior isn't what we should do. We need to set a proper example.

If your all-powerful and all-knowing god doesn't like gay people then why does she keep making so many of them?

Are you going to ignore my post and try to deny I said it because you cannot refute the logic with nonsense apologetics?

Is that like what the lying jackass did to Ms Stormy Daniels?
Why is it any of YOUR business what a 30 yo and a 20yo man legally do in the privacy of their own bedroom? Can you explain this to everyone here-and don’t use the reasoning that it disgusts you.

What did they do to gay men 60 years ago? I didn't even know what gay was when it was sung out during the Flintstones' theme song. Generally, average Americans are against GAY PRIDE MONTH, GAY PRIDE PARADES, and the government treating GAY marriage the same as "traditional" marriage with tax and healthcare incentives.

Pride parades aside you need the government to recognize the supremacy of male and female union? Why? Why is this fundamental component of humanity so fragile that less than one percent of the population can break it?

Support for LGBT right is high. You should tell the truth as the 10 Commandments require you to do. Especially on your Sabbath.

Respondents were asked whether they favor or oppose laws that would protect “LGBTQ Americans from discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodation,” PRRI said. Last year, 76% of adults said they supported those policies, down from 80% in 2022, according to PRRI.


Support for those protections stayed steady among Democrats in the past two years but Republicans’ support dropped from 66% to 59% during that time, the findings show.


While Americans in all age groups favor nondiscrimination laws, the PRRI findings indicate a gradual decline in support among Americans aged 18-29. In the past three years, support went from 83% in 2020 to 75% last year.


Last year, 67% of American adults said they support same-sex marriage, down from 69% in 2022, PRRI found.

Sad that so much of the hindering in this progress is due to party affiliation and Christian Nationalism.

I am on another forum and posted a video about why Gay Pride has been so impactful. It is a heavily moderated forum for Seniors 55+. One old curmudgeon actually replied that "queers are disgusting". I was hoping young people didn't follow this thinking but according to this, homophobia is just passed down by generation.

Good!

I never really got the “gay pride” thing. I was born this way; so were you most likely. I am no more proud to be gay than I am proud to have two arms and one butt. I AM proud that that I am honest, rational, compassionate etc-qualities that most people think are desirable and which are under my own control.
But if others want to express pride at being gay -more power to them. Doesn’t affect me one way or the other.

So when you were 20 and a gay man in his 30's could have managed to get you to have sex with him?

I knew I was gay when I was 12 I didn't need to be 20 and groomed by an older man. Where do you get this idea that this happens?

That's not grooming.

Grooming is about gaining trust of the victim, and in some cases, it also involves gaining trust of adults in a supervisory capacity. Grooming is used to establish predictable behavioral patterns that become normalized and abused over time.

Grooming is what priests and youth minsters do to children.

It's what a lot of sexual predators do, be it priests, teachers, middle-school principals, doctors, sports coaches, trainers, lawyers, adult cousins, uncles, step-parents, whatever...

Good!

Better late than never I suppose, but considering Grindr shut down in Milwaukee during the RNC I'm sure there are a lot of Pubs that share your comments and say queers are disgusting but they sure don't mind getting some on the "downlow."

Its biologically impossible to be groomed to be gay. A person's sexual orientation is not a choice that you make. That is why conversion therapy doesn't work.
