The moral priorities of the average American
(sh.itjust.works)
Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

My family's from the South. I have seen some shit you wouldn't believe.
But 4-in-10 finding homosexuality "morally wrong" is jaw dropping, to me. Another 23%, just "acceptable." In 2026?
WTF.
I thought homophobes were dying out, but apparently not.
"Morally acceptable" and "not a moral issue" combine into the greater "not morally wrong" category. Personally I'd put it in "not moral issue," but I don't assume any I'll will on the part of people saying it's "acceptable"
You should look at the 2024 California same sex referendum. Lots of counties voted no, including Merced and Fresno.
Americans are staggeringly conservative
sadly thanks to the pedophile-in-chief... homophobia has made a resurgence in vocal hate groups.
Yup. It was slowly going away and being ostracized by the wider society. Companies never truly supported LGBT+ but at least, due to the social pressure, they were acquiescing to demands to respect their right to exist and have representation in society.
Then Pedo in Chief comes along, starts saying the quiet part out loud, and every cockroach in this country who was being rightfully shamed into silence was given newfound confidence to openly be the hateful, narrow-minded bigot they always were behind closed doors. The social pressure was gone and with it the levees broke.
