Young Adults Moving Away From LGBTQ Tolerance
The 2019 Accelerating Acceptance survey, conducted in January by the Harris polling group on behalf of the “gay rights” organization GLAAD, found that 18- to 34-year-old adults have begun to shift away from their tolerance for those identifying as LGBTQ, as compared to previous surveys taken over the past two years.
The survey of 1,754 self-identifying non-LGBTQ American adults between the ages of 18 and 34 found that 33 percent said they would be uncomfortable having one of their own children placed in a class with an LGBTQ teacher, an increase from 29 percent among that age group in 2017 and 25 percent in 2016.
The report, released June 24, also found that 39 percent of young adults would be uncomfortable discovering that their child had been on the receiving end of an LGBTQ-themed history lesson in school — a significant increase from 30 percent in 2017 and 27 percent in 2016.
