From USA Today:

The annual survey asks respondents to indicate how they feel about the state of the nation on a number of issues, such as crime, abortion and race relations.

The 2025 survey, which collected responses from 1,005 adults in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, asked respondents to express their levels of satisfaction or dissatisfaction over acceptance of gay and lesbian people in the U.S.

According to the survey, 51% of Americans say they’re satisfied with national attitudes toward gay and lesbian people, a drop of several percentage points over the past couple of years and 11 points lower than 2022’s high of 62%.

The results reflected differences along partisan lines: 55% of those who identify as or lean Republican said they were satisfied with levels of acceptance of gay and lesbian people, compared with just 43% of those identifying as or leaning Democrat.

This year’s figure is the lowest since 2013 when just 49% of Americans indicated they were satisfied with LGBTQ acceptance. Two and a half years later, the Supreme Court issued its Obergefell ruling which made same-sex marriage legal across the country.
