Happy Pride Month, everybody! Corporations are slapping rainbows on everything, the White House is lit up like a Skittles bag, and — oh, what's this? — brand-new Gallup polling shows American support for the LGBTQ agenda has cratered to its lowest point in a decade. Timing is everything.
You mean to tell me that years of Drag Queen Story Hour, "gender-affirming care" for minors, and rainbow-washing every product from beer to baseball didn't win hearts and minds? Shocking. Truly shocking.
Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs survey, conducted May 1-17, 2026, with 1,001 adults across all 50 states, paints a picture the Pride parade float designers probably don't want to see. Support for legal same-sex marriage has dropped to 65%, down six points from the 71% peak in 2022 and 2023. The percentage of Americans who view gay or lesbian relations as "morally acceptable" has fallen to 62% — a number we haven't seen since 2016. And the share who think changing one's gender is morally acceptable? Down to 38%, with 57% calling it morally wrong. That's an eight-point nosedive over just five years.
Jeffrey M. Jones authored the Gallup report, and the numbers tell a story the legacy media will work overtime to ignore. The collapse is driven almost entirely by Republicans. In 2021 and 2022, 55% of Republicans supported legal same-sex marriage. Today that number is 37% — an 18-point freefall. Republican moral acceptance of gay and lesbian relations has plummeted 21 points since 2022, landing at just 35%.
But it's not just the right. Independents have cooled off too — their support for same-sex marriage dropped six points to 67%, and moral acceptance of gay relations fell eight points to 64%. Democrats remain in their bubble at 87% and 81%, respectively, virtually unchanged.
The transgender numbers are where it gets really brutal. Only 5% of Republicans now say changing one's gender is morally acceptable. Five percent. That's down from 22% in 2021. Even Democrats dropped from 67% to 60%, and independents slid from 48% to 42%. When you're losing ground with your own base, the marketing campaign has officially failed.
Louder with Crowder put it best in their headline: "The people want normalcy again." And that's exactly what this is. Americans watched an agenda get shoved into every classroom, every corporate training seminar, every sporting event, and every children's television show — and they pushed back. Not with protests. Not with boycotts, mostly. Just with their honest answers to a pollster on the phone.
The activists will blame "right-wing misinformation" or "political backlash." They always do. But Gallup's margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points at the 95% confidence level. The trend isn't noise. It's a U-turn.
Here's the part that should keep the Pride Month planners up at night: the 44-point surge in same-sex marriage support between 1996 and 2022 — from 27% to 71% — was supposed to be a one-way ratchet. Culture was only supposed to move in their direction. Turns out, when you overplay your hand by targeting kids and demanding everyone celebrate instead of merely tolerate, people start moving the other direction.
We said this would happen. They called us bigots for saying it. The data says we were right.
