This should be overlapped with Pornhub’s viewing data per state for a good laugh.
Interesting but not beautiful. No labels for the state names, even Americans don’t know the geography that well. The smaller states need numbers with lines. Maryland and D.C. overlap and Delaware has no number.
Oh! Oh! Now corelate the data against average household income!
A map for you sir/madam/all else
What?! Wisconsin, the “Alabama of the north”, has the same acceptance rate as Cali? I did not expect that.
First, the term is “Wississippi”. Second, I totally agree. I was shocked to see how well we did.
I think, like usual, Madison and Milwaukee carry the load here.
Don’t care who they be fuckin, can they pound a beer and can they defend the honor of Cheesus is all that matters man
I always thought it was interesting how the one thing MAGA hasn’t been frothing at the mouth to reverse is gay marriage, it’s really crazy how fast the opinion changed once it became legal nationwide and the sky didn’t fall.
Marriage is at its core property law that promotes social stability and commitment to a status quo. If you’re gay but willing to pay a mortgage, raise a kid, and keep number going up they’re happy to have you for the moment. I don’t see it as a prize to be won but as a culture war touchpoint that has served its purpose and an option for those with previously subversive lifestyles to give up/buy in.
It’s not as appealing or accessible of an option as it once was, and I don’t think they can afford to be as picky as they might like. If we get to a point where the Department of Family needs your home for a couple with more traditional values it’ll be another story, but I imagine religion, race, and political affiliation (in roughly that order) will be greater risk factors than sexuality. As is, getting married at all is a clear enough signal of alignment to be left alone
I’m ashamed that WA isn’t higher. I don’t know why we put up with the half of the state east of the mountains, they’re just our cross to bear.
Why should we turn 100% of our farmland into Republican states?
It’s a little weird to suppose I was serious, don’t you think?
I wonder how the results changed if the question was put a different way. Even I struggle to answer this a bit. I don’t think society should “accept” my homosexuality. There’s plenty things I don’t “accept” either but I just stay out of it then. No need to like it - just don’t be a jerk and let me live my life. I don’t need your validation.
Wouldn’t the opposite of acceptance imply eradication?
Perhaps to some but one does not automatically follow from the other. There are additional steps to be taken in between to get from not-liking to wanting it destroyed.
In my experience most people don’t have an issue with gays existing. The issue is with forcibly shoving that acceptance down their throats.

Eww, you sound like a maga
I mean good for you, but as a fellow homosexual, I demand acceptance.
Tolerance is a pathetically low bar. We deserve equality and respect.
Respect is not deserved but earned on a individual basis for demonstrating good character. It has nothing to do with your sexuality.
This why Kansas is better than Arkansas
It is still like the 1980’s around here in Arkansas. I’m not gay but when I was in my early twenties(Mid 90’s) I really enjoyed going to the showings of the Rocky Horror Picture show in Little Rock. One night we had some no necks try to assault the crowd lined up at the screening. The four dipshits jump out expecting the crowd to run. We had three guys there They were cut like the guy in the movie and only wearing gold short shorts. Those assholes quickly found out the the horror in rocky horror would kick your ass. Roll forward to the late 2010’s. Nearly the same thing occurred at some drag show in Little Rock that my daughter was attending. She didn’t see it all but I read about it a few days later.
The point is though nothing has changed in Arkansas. Too many closeted guys or guys who got a boner from chick with a dick who get excited when people make choices they are too scared to make turn to violence to cloak their true sexuality.
“dost thou protest too much” is still a real thing and a real handy way to spot
no necks
At first I thought you meant people dressed up as this guy:
