LGBTQ Acceptance among young adults drops
A new survey shows young adults in the U.S. are now less accepting of LGBTQ people, GLAAD announced on Monday.
According to the survey, conducted by The Harris Poll, non-LGBTQ adults who felt “very” or “somewhat” comfortable in those situations remained the same as 2018 at 49 percent. But for the group aged 18 to 34, the percentage of those who felt comfortable in all seven scenarios fell from 53 percent to 45. It’s the second year in a row that the number has dropped.
GLAAD’s results come the same week as the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a series of violent confrontations in New York City between police and gay rights activists that helped to launch the gay rights movement in the U.S.John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll, agreed that the results were unexpected, considering young people are usually viewed as the group paving the way for equality and other issues.
