In
1977, 41 percent of Americans thought that gay or lesbian relations should be
legal.
By
2015, 68 percent thought so. In 1996, just 27 percent favored same-sex
marriage.
By
2016, 61 percent did (Gallup, 2016). Why have these attitudes changed?
For
many reasons, but psychological science has contributed in three important
ways.
GAY PEOPLE MUST BE TREATED WITH RESPECT, SAYS THE
VATICAN

people must be ‘welcomed’ and

historic sex and relationships conference this autumn.
SHOULD YOU RESPECT GAY
PEOPLE IF YOU FIND HOMOSEXUALITY IMMORAL?
By Nathaniel Frank Jan 06, 2014 Of late, many opponents of gay
equality have taken pains
to insist that, whatever they think of homosexuality, they not
only love gay people, they also respect them. It’s the latest incarnation of
“hate the sin, love the sinner.”
Defending himself against allegations
by punter Chris Kluwe that he went on an anti-gay tirade in the Minnesota
Vikings locker room, special teams coach Mike Priefer released a statement
denying that he said gays would burn in hell and claiming he was “respectful of
all individuals.” Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor of Florida who
is now running to re-take the office as a Democrat, gave an interview
to an LGBTQ website apologizing for his earlier anti-gay positions. “I love
everyone!” he giggled, explaining that his parents “raised us to love everyone”
and be nice to everyone until you no longer could. Even the pope has now said
that Catholics should not judge gay people, despite official
church doctrine viewing them as “intrinsically disordered.”

There are very harmful ideas spreading in our society about LGBTIQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersexual, queer) people. You may have been told in the past that gay love is a sin, that gay people are weak or any other type of cruel stereotype. [1] Re-examining long-held beliefs can be frightening and confusing, but it is without doubt admirable. Thinking deeply about your moral compass is an important part of leading an ethical life. If can be hard to accept something you don’t feel you understand. Fortunately, understanding LGBTIQ people is fairly simple. methods
