This week, GLAAD released the Accelerating Acceptance Report, a survey of 2,032 American adults about their views on different LGBT-related issues. Of this sample, 1,781 participants were non-LGBT.
The results are a great big bummer. Some key stats about the opinions of the non-LGBT Americans surveyed:
- 50% think “gay people have the same rights as everybody else”
- 37% think LGBT youth homelessness is not serious
- 27% think anti-trans violence is not serious
- 27% are uncomfortable learning a family member is LGBT
- 29% are uncomfortable seeing a same-sex couple holding hands
- 26% are uncomfortable seeing an LGBT coworker’s wedding photo
Read the full report here, and get angry about the complacency of the misinformed American population in any way you can.
