What religions are “White Catholic”, “Other Catholic of color”, etc? I hadn’t realized that Catholic and Protestant religions were segregated by skin color.
The fact it went down from 2022 to 2023🤦 I can’t wait for the 1950s again /s
Pretty disheartening to see the numbers nearly all go down from 2022 to 2023 🙁
So in the US the protestants are traditional and Catholics are more progressive? In Europe it’s the other way round
Pretty much all above 50% support. The majority approve of protection. It’s the loud obnoxious minority who make it seem like they are in the majority.
Hahah Jehovah Witnesses bringing in the rear. Shocker. I raised in a cult very similar to Jehovah Witnesses and was taught that the prevalence of homosexuality would be the downfall of America. I was also taught that brainwashing could cure people of homosexuality and to commit a homosexual act, one must be possessed by the devil. Now I have an LGBTQ child who I love more than anything and I go to rallies and provide support to the LGBTQ community. Funny how life works sometimes.
I’m not as familiar with Jehova’s Witnesses aside from the door knocking and the missions in my home country they do, so I am slightly surprised by their relative ranking.
There’s also been the growing corporate media and oligarch-owned social media – both of which have been ratcheting up the lying scare tactics about LGBTQ+ people in the run up to the 2024 election. This will continue as they attempt to implement their 2025 agenda, because targeting vulnerable minority groups is how they keep people distracted and complacent.
This should also be a very clear signal to any deluded gays thinking that throwing our trans siblings under the bus will save them – we ALL have a target on our backs from these people, and only working together do we have a hope of pushing back against the bigotry and lies about us.
I wonder what the reasoning for the decline is. More people surveyed? Immigration? The trans movement hurting the “traditional” gay marriage approval numbers? Swing in politics?
22,000 seems like a large sample size, but when you take into account the representation of some of the smaller minority religions, I think that might explain a lot of the crazy variations we’re seeming.
I don’t know I expected to see Pastafarian on the list. Interesting read.
They always (sic) organize by professed religion but never by attendance frequency.
I’d love to see one of these sorted by religion and by church attendance.
What happened with the opinions of Buddhists between 2022 and 2023?
Why they have “White catholic” and “black catholic” as a thing appart?
Bro 🗿
This is surprising to me as I was raised Lutheran ELCA and they are very progressive in regards to LGBTQ and women pastors
Damn so much backtracking in the second image data. Just one year of targeted social media attacks erased years of progress.
TIL to get Jehovah’s witnesses to stop going to your door just say you’re gay
Just want to chime in that the colors chosen here are a nightmare as someone who’s red-green colorblind. 2022 and 2023 are nearly identical for me and I can’t tell which went down in support because of that.
Atheists/unaffiliated FTW…why are the least religious the most tolerant?
Why are Catholics separated by ethnicity/race/skin color and no others are? That seems like an odd representation of the data.
Glad to see the mormons made a lot of progress since 2015. Went to the gay wedding of a close family member last year in Salt Lake County and it was really nice to see how many mormons were there, full of love. Though it was very noticeable that there were still lots of close family who were mormon who refused to attend. Long way to go, my momo family, but I know you can do it!
The power of propaganda (Andrew Tate, etc)
I don’t understand why there’s a push to lump gay, lesbian, and bisexual in with transgender people on every issue.
Like in Figure 6 is pretty clearly directed at the T, not the LGB.
Nothing like religion to help you go backwards.
Let’s hear it for white mainline non-evangelical Christians! As my soccer coach when I was a 10yo used to say: way to be there.
White Catholics are more progressive than the average American, let it be known.
What is most surprising is how much of a strange hole the WEP have on the discourse considering compared to overall American opinion they’re so small.

Where’s the Westboro Baptist Church?
This data is not beautiful, in more than one way.

The data is significantly contradictory.
