This week, GLAAD released the Accelerating Acceptance Report, a survey of 2,032 American adults about their views on different LGBT-related issues. Of this sample, 1,781 participants were non-LGBT.
The results are a great big bummer. Some key stats about the opinions of the non-LGBT Americans surveyed:
- 50% think “gay people have the same rights as everybody else”
- 37% think LGBT youth homelessness is not serious
- 27% think anti-trans violence is not serious
- 27% are uncomfortable learning a family member is LGBT
- 29% are uncomfortable seeing a same-sex couple holding hands
- 26% are uncomfortable seeing an LGBT coworker’s wedding photo
Read the full report here, and get angry about the complacency of the misinformed American population in any way you can.
It’s not 29% of cishets are uncomfortable seeing us hold hands, its 29% of cishets who voluntarily took a lgbt rights survey willingly admit they hate to see us hold hands.
Remeber volunteer bias and self reporting bias make all these number look “better.”
And ps, this isnt “the complacency of the uniformed” its called fucking homophobia.
Fuck the straits, fuck the Huffington Post, and down with cis.
