We Are Winning People’s Support For Us.

You might not see it but we are slowly wining over people view’s of us, they are rebelling against the harsh treatment by the Republicans.

As I wrote on Friday, Amy Schneider said at Scared Heart University...

At the same time, she said such laws show that “we’ve already won, really.”

“This is the backlash of a dying movement,” Schneider said. “Once people come to accept that trans people are just people, and that LGBTQ people are just people and aren’t hurting anyone, they don’t change their minds. It’s a one-way street.

I think the Republicans are getting scared so they are doubling down on harsh treatment of trans children and abortions. Even some religions are losing their grip over their congregations.

Growing Latter-day Saint support for LGBTQ rights tops the national average
Backing for same-sex marriage rises, too, but still lags behind rest of the U.S.

Support among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for LGBTQ rights, including same-sex marriage, has increased noticeably since 2015, mirroring trends across U.S. society generally, according to a recent study by the Public Religion Research Institute.

Based on interviews conducted online and by phone of a nationally representative sample of more than 22,000 adults, the report uncovered an overall increase of 8 percentage points among Americans between 2015 and 2021. Nearly 8 in 10 (79%) now favor nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ individuals.

Latter-day Saints’ backing for these same protections jumped by 12 percentage points during the same period to exceed the national average at 84%.

This leap was one of the biggest of the 18 faiths included in the study, surpassed only by non-Hispanic Catholics of color, Hindus, Black Protestants and other Protestants of color.

However, the support is very weak and fragile and it some areas they haven’t changed.

The PRRI survey discovered that the number of Americans who opposed allowing small-business owners to refuse their products and services to gay and lesbian individuals due to religious beliefs grew by 7 percentage points to 66% in 2021.

On this issue, Latter-day Saints saw a slightly smaller increase of 6 percentage points to end up at 44%. Only two groups — Orthodox Christians and white evangelical Protestants — finished lower at 43% and 38% opposed, respectively.

There is still a lot of work to be done, but as Ms. Schneider said, “Once people come to accept that trans people are just people, and that LGBTQ people are just people and aren’t hurting anyone, they don’t change their minds.”

Remember that we did it in 2018 with voters in Massachusetts by winning on Question 3 with 67% of the votes.

Remember Harvey Milk, 

“Gay Trans brothers and sisters,... You must come out. Come out... to your parents... I know that it is hard and will hurt them but think about how they will hurt you in the voting booth! Come out to your relatives... come out to your friends... if indeed they are your friends. Come out to your neighbors... to your fellow workers... to the people who work where you eat and shop... come out only to the people you know, and who know you. Not to anyone else. But once and for all, break down the myths, destroy the lies and distortions. For your sake. For their sake. For the sake of the youngsters who are becoming scared by the votes from Dade to Eugene.”
