A recent survey reveals a significant majority of Americans support nondiscrimination policies for LGBTQ+ individuals, with 75% overall approval. Support has increased slightly since 2015. While Democrats show the strongest support (89%), Republican support remains at 62%. The survey indicates a growing acceptance among most faith groups. Concerns remain over transgender rights, particularly regarding youth access to gender-affirming care, where opinion is more divided. The data from the Public Religion Research Institute contrasts with a smaller Pew Research survey that found over half supporting care bans, highlighting a national conversation around these critical issues.
Support for LGBTQ rights, including marriage equality and non-discrimination protections, have largely stabilized after some modest declines last year, with strong majorities - including majorities of most people of faith - supporting such policies.
While Americans are more divided on laws preventing youth from receiving gender-affirming care, the majority (49 percent) still oppose such bans, compared to 47 percent in favor.
