A New Poll Shows American Muslims Are Less Homophobic Than White Evangelical Christians
This polling was nice to see http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/08/a-new-poll-shows-american-muslims-are-less-homophobic-than-white-evangelical-christians/
But whats perhaps more noteworthy, particularly for Trumps opponents, is Pews finding about Muslim Americans attitudes toward the LGBT community. Statistically, theyve become much more accepting of LGBT people: 52 percent of Muslim Americans now agree that homosexuality should be accepted by societyup from just 27 percent in 2007. And while they are not the most accepting group polled, their views have shifted toward being gay-friendly by a greater margin than any other group in the survey. White evangelical Christians remain the least accepting; the groups views were comparable to those of Muslim Americans in 2007, with 23 percent of white evangelical Christians saying homosexuality should be accepted by society. Today only 34 percent say the same. Its also worth highlighting that about 80 percent of white evangelicals who voted backed Trump, according to exit polls.
