Do you believe that, in general, the following are morally acceptable? [The list of issues is longer then shown here.]
The death penalty | |
Gay or lesbian relations | |
Abortion | |
Pornography | |
Sex between teenagers | |
Polygamy |
[...] [A]cceptance of gay and lesbian relations has swelled from 38% in 2002 to majority support since 2010. [The catagory 'Sex between teenagers' was added last year to this study.] [...]
In the 12 years Gallup has asked this overall question, Democrats have become significantly more tolerant on many issues, while independents generally show a smaller shift in the same direction and Republicans' views have changed little. The percentage of Democrats who say an issue is morally acceptable has increased for 10 issues, including abortion, sex between an unmarried man and woman, extramarital affairs, cloning humans, divorce, cloning animals, suicide, research using stem cells from human embryos, polygamy, and gay and lesbian relations.
