7. Possible "bright side":
I'd wager that if the same question were asked 20 years ago, the results would have been much worse. I'm not quite yet an "oldster", but I've witnessed quite a change in attitudes towards GLBT issues. I wish that the evolution of thought would happen faster, but we (as a nation) are slow to deal with changes.

55% disapproval isn't good, but it's better. My heart goes out to my gay friends here and in person for the disgusting bigotry that they are forced to endure, but it's getting better. Slowly, but surely it's getting better.

Some will always resist that which they don't understand. That said, the more exposure these issues get, the more people will start to "get it".

Hope that made sense. Peace.
