Poll shows US public endorse for LGBTQ+ protections falling for first time since 2015
Public support for gay marriage and nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ Americans has fallen, even as the overall share remains upper, according to new findings by the nonpartisan Widespread Religion Research Institute.
Broad majorities of Americans, regardless of political party or faith, continue to support Gay rights and protections, the analysis found. But after years of rising general support, the decline is notable, said Melissa Deckman, CEO of the PRRI.
The survey analyzed Americans’ attitudes toward LGBTQ+ rights across three policies: same-sex marriage, nondiscrimination protections and religion-based service refusals. It set up support for all three measures had softened for the first time since the PRRI began hunting views of the issues nearly a decade ago.
While the “vast majority of Americans continue to endorse protections for LGBTQ Americans”, Deckman said the results may serve as a “warning sign” for those working to safeguard the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans amid a conservative legislative and legal effort to erode them.

In Marsha P. Johnson's final interview before her death in 1992, the activist later recognized as an icon of the movement that preceded LGBTQ rights in the Joined States explained why she, a trans woman, championed a cause that often excluded her.
"I've been walking for same-sex attracted rights all these years," Johnson said, referencing early Event marches in a conversation that appears in a 2012 documentary about her life. "Because you never completely hold your rights, one person, until you all have your rights."
Since then, social and political wins over time grew to encompass everyone represented by the acronym LGBTQ, which stands for dyke, gay, bisexual, gender nonconforming and queer. But that's become less true in recent years, as lawmakers in Tennessee, Texas and a number of other states repeatedly pushed legislation to restrict access to gender-affirming take care, bathrooms and sports teams for gender diverse people.
Anti-trans sentiment was central to President Trump's 2024 campaign, LGBTQ advocates tell, and it followed him into office. Many of his directives this designation have closely mirrored Project 2025, a conservative policy agenda that explicitly prioritizes eroding LGBTQ rights.
