      The biggest takeaway from the map is honestly how *little* geographic variation there is. The Northeast, Midwest, Plains, and West Coast are all at basically the exact same numbers. Even the Deep South – the only region of the entire country with any discernable pattern whatsoever – is only maybe 10 % less than average. „Red states“ are only like 5 points off from „blue state“ neighbors.

      But its not a consensus either, with over a third of people still opposed.

      I wonder if there is any other non-consensus issue with such a complete lack of difference from state to state?

      Honestly, it’s better than what I expected. But I am surprised California is lower than washington.

      I wonder what the numbers are for interracial marriage.

      So many people have really strong opinions about stuff that isn’t their business.

      Yeah, it’s been settled.  Efforts to undo anything aren’t going anywhere.

      Only 4% more people in California support same-sex marriage versus Florida

      Which tracks with my experience as a Floridian

      If you ask Floridians questions like „do you believe in climate change“ or „do you support same-sex marriage“ or „should cannabis be legal“, or „should abortion be legal“ or „do you think the government should protect the environment“ they say an emphatic Yes to all.

      But if you ask for them to vote for a political candidate they go and vote for someone against all of those things because they have a R next to their name.

      This surprised me (though certainly showing my own bubble) but gay marriage has been legal in my country for 20 years. It’s almost entirely a non-issue.

      Doesn’t mean that the Christian nationalists are going to give up rolling it back. Especially if they can suppress the votes of people who oppose them.

      The republicans have moved on to trans as the boogeyman.

      On the race side they’ve also moved on from blacks and middle-easterners (after 9/11) to demonize Hispanic immigrants now.

      There’s always a boogeyman to rile up their voters since they never want to help their voters out with things that matter like healthcare.

      North Dakota and Florida are surprising to me. I wonder if the North Dakota-South Dakota divide is due to the larger proportion of Lutherans (particularly the ELCA) in North Dakota vs. South Dakota. Lutherans (with some exceptions) tend to be more socially progressive and more accepting of same-sex marriage compared to a lot of other Christian denominations. Even Lutherans less supportive of same-sex marriage tend to be more “meh” on their opposition rather than passionately opposed, especially across the ELCA.

      seems like a no brainer, humans can enter contracts with each other, what’s the mfing problem?

      How to detect political corruption: Find a state that supports and issue, but has a state legislature and governor that writes new law to oppose this thing. In this case it is Gay Marriage. You can find the same states have a similar pattern with gun control, abortion, voting rights, etc.

      The people are not getting laws the want.

      Tbh the numbers could be better.

      It would be understandable to see these kinds of numbers for “is homosexuality moral for me personally” because it’s completely valid for someone to have personal religious beliefs about it.

      It’s different when the question is whether same sex marriage should be legally allowed. The fact that roughly 1 in 3 Americans across the country consistently oppose legal recognition is concerning.

      And the consensus doesn’t matter because the hateful few run this country

    26. winthroprd on

      New England killing it. NH and CT are the lowest but they just artifically tanked to get to 69.

    27. UnrecoveredSatellite on

      And yet somehow, I wouldn’t doubt one bit that it gets overturned within the next 6-8 years.

      Mississippi , how’s that first cousin thing working out for you

    33. StormerSage on

      Not me scanning the map intently to find out who’s still being a little bitch about this lmao

    35. AGrandNewAdventure on

      I get the purpose of this, but other people shouldn’t need to have the approval of others to be able to live their own damned lives.

      Do we know if this poll was conducted in 2020-2024 or so and if it’s gotten better or worse since then?

    41. Nonaveragemonkey on

      So many rural states are similarly tolerant of gay folks as many more urban states?
      Some are pretty bad but if Montana and Cali are pretty equal in tolerance..hmm

    42. Soviet_Russia321 on

      Every other Southern state again thanks God for Mississippi, so they don’t have to be last.

    43. SaintBobby_Barbarian on

      No surprise. Though it is funny how the most rural and gun pro state in New England is second highest in Same Sex Marriage.

    45. hbhfl on

      that does not matter anymore

      now we are fighting authoritarians who want to violate constitutions 1st amendment with age verification and digital ID

      This one’s really fun for me as someone in California. 

      I remember back in 2008 gay marriage was a proposition (proposition 8, specifically). The way those work in California is a flat vote for the population, no gerrymandering or whatnot, and California still voted against gay marriage (though it was close – 52/48 if I remember right).

      Fast forward to 2024, where it came up again as Proposition 3. It was one of a few propositions where both the CA GOP and CA Democratic party agreed on supporting, and it passed with a pretty large lead (about what you see in this map if I remember right).

      It’s been really interesting to watch, almost in real time.

      Give Mississippi some time, they’re raising a whole generation of kids who can read

    48. Charkid17 on

      For context, Mississippi has a dramatically lower HDI than anywhere else in the country.

      What would be more interesting to see if % by party-line, as policy is set by the party in power.

      I highly suspect that this type of map misses that key aspect, as it’s likely that high % of Repubs are against in many/most states, whilst a higher % of „other parties“ are in support of.

      So this is rather meaningless from a „policy support“ perspective. Just an interesting „if everyone voted for policies“ vs „representative democracy“ which actually dictates which laws are passed.
