83% of Americans believe that gay or lesbian relations between consenting adults should be legal, versus 43% who thought the same four decades ago
Americans’ opinions about gay people and their rights have undergone a 180-degree shift in the span of a generation, according to recent Gallup polling released during Pride Month.For example, 93% of people now believe that gay people should have equal rights with respect to job opportunities, compared to just 56% in 1977.
While the share of respondents who say gay people should be hired to work in the clergy has doubled, the number now sits at just 72%, the lowest of the jobs listed. Views on whether gay and lesbian people should be allowed to adopt children have grown far more progressive, too: Three in four people are in support, compared to a mere 14% in 1977.
