It's not religion that is driving the resurgent moral panic about LBGTQ people in the USA. You don't get a 15% shift beliefs in a year due to growing religious sentiment.

It's cynical opportunists trying to ride to power on populist sentiment by delegating and demonizing an outgroup.

Fuck every one of them.

@ct_bergstrom could just be noise - looks like a straight trend line would fit the data pretty well?

@Drand Could be. It's a shit article – best as I can tell, they never tell us the sample size or margin of error, and the raw data are percentages rather than counts.

I wonder if this poll was done on commission and if so, who commissioned it?
