Young Americans are becoming less accepting of the LGBTQ community Pride
found that 36 percent of respondents in that demographic reported they'd be"very" or"somewhat" uncomfortable learning a family member was LGBTQ. That's up from 29 percent who said the same in 2018.
"The younger generation has traditionally been thought of as a beacon of progressive values," GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement."We have taken that idea for granted." Conducted online earlier this year, the poll quizzed 1,970 U.S. adults on their comfort level with seven theoretical situations: Learning a family member is LGBTQ, learning their doctor is LGBTQ, having LGBTQ members at their place of worship, seeing a LGBTQ co-worker's wedding picture, having their child placed in a class with a LGBTQ teacher, seeing a same-sex couple holding hands, and learning their child was learning LGBTQ history in school.
Harris Poll CEO John Gerzema admitted surveys typically show younger people advocating for issues like immigration reform, gender equality and climate change."So it's surprising to see a notable erosion of acceptance for the LTBTQ community, which counters many of the assumptions we make about their values and beliefs," Gerzema said in a statement."In this toxic age, tolerance––even among youth––now seems to be parsed out. Nothing today should be taken for granted.
