Young people in America overwhelmingly support LGBT rights when it comes to policies on employment, health care and adoption, according to a new survey.

The GenForward survey of Americans ages 18-30 found that support for those policies has increased over the past two years, especially among young whites. But relatively few of these young adults consider rights for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender to be among the top issues facing the United States.

According to the findings, 92 percent of young adults support HIV and AIDS prevention, 90 percent support equal employment, and 80 percent support LGBT adoption. Across racial and ethnic groups, broad majorities support training police on transgender issues, government support for organizations for LGBT youth and insurance coverage for transgender health issues. …

Of course generation pussy would be for this. We can thank all the liberal baby boomers in high positions of power for pushing this commie agenda crap corrupting the younger ones. On purpose.

These millennials generally have a very, VERY shallow concept of the world, consequences for policy, and the way things work.

Take their no-cost “opinion” for what it’s worth, therefore.

So I guess we’re not all equal under the law. Some people have more rights than others.

GenForward is a survey by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Sometimes you have to consider the source.

Just shut up about your Lgbtbltqqq, or whatever values and go quietly into the closet with your russian roulette game with hell! I personally favor making practicing homo behavior a felony, getting rid of no-fault divorce and making the country abide by the 10 commandments!

These yutes have no clue how they are being used. Once the ruling elites are done with them they will be tossed to the curb.

Homophilia is “wildly popular” among the young snowflakes. Not as “wildly popular” as Pokémon though.

It is possible that this study simply is recognizing a generational demographic hiccup for that age group.

More importantly, in 12 years, these 18-30 year olds will be 30-42 a s their views will become more conservative.

Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks. …

Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.” …

Communist goals #17 and #26 respectively
It has been going on for a very long period of time, since the end of WWII.

I’m curious as to what “rights” are still out there that gays don’t have. I have a very good friend who’s gay. He’s married (to his partner), they have two kids (through a surrogate), they are both professional (one’s an attorney, the other a sales manager at a high tech firm), they live in a nice suburban neighborhood and own a million-dollar-plus house, their combined income must be somewhere above $300K per year.

What exactly are they missing???

Why, the persecution of Christians, of course. But that’s already started.

Why is big brother responsible for “private” lives of people? What I am against is in your face demonstrations and parades displaying abnormal (from nature) behavior. I do not want to see PDA of gay and lesbians. But I do not want my tax money spent on anyone’s private sex preferences.

“Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another.

Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper.”

(New Testament, Romans 1:26-28)

It’s a “depends on what you mean.”

If it means official policies that are blind to that kind of thing going on in a private life, that has been the case for a long, long time. Even most evangelically minded Christians would agree, when mere secular business is at stake and the “do not be unequally yoked” provision does not apply. If you never let a sinner get near you on bare principle, God can’t let your manner of living witness to that sinner (and yes, a true faithful Christian will live a more visibly attractive life than will a coarse libertine).

If it means special recognition, this is growing, in part due to the burgeoning lies about what such a relationship means.

"Generation Pussy"--there's a generational nickname that I hope sticks, LOL.

Proof that propaganda works. “Take a lie make it big enough, repeat it often enough and people will believe it.”-Josef Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister. Please folks buy and read “Propaganda” by Edward Bernays. it is online
