A Pew Research poll reveals that while 60% of LGBTQ adults perceive social acceptance for gay and lesbian individuals in the US, only about 10% feel the same for transgender and non-binary people. This discrepancy highlights ongoing societal issues in acceptance. The survey, conducted after Donald Trump's election, reflects concerns over his policies impacting transgender rights, including barring transgender athletes from female sports and undermining gender-affirming care funding. Overall, acceptance varies significantly within the LGBTQ community, particularly affecting transgender people.
About six out of 10 LGBTQ adults said gay and lesbian people are generally accepted in the US, highlighting a significant divide in acceptance levels.
The survey revealed that transgender individuals face markedly less social acceptance compared to their gay and lesbian counterparts, reflecting ongoing societal challenges.
Only about one in 10 LGBTQ adults indicated good acceptance for non-binary and transgender individuals, illustrating a concerning trend in social attitudes.
Since taking office, Trump’s policies have targeted transgender rights, resulting in stark differences in acceptance between various LGBTQ identities.
