Acceptance of same-sex relationships slowing down in UK, report suggests

[Soph0571]

Liberal Britain may have reached its peak, with the proportion of people who say they are completely comfortable with same-sex relations having fallen for the first time in more than three decades.

Research conducted as part of the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey signalled the country had “reached a point of plateau”, where acceptance of those not fitting within “conventional norms” is beginning to level off.

Of the nearly 3,000 people polled, two-thirds (66 per cent) said same-sex relationships were “not wrong at all”, down from 68 per cent the previous year – marking the first drop since 1987, when the figure stood at 11 per cent.

In some ways this is unsurprising, with the swing to the nasty right wing brigade that we are seeing a the moment, we wll know that the right LOVE to other people to seed division. And they are rather good at it, it is why we have seen such a rise in hate crimes, with both the LGBTQI and people of colour being disproportionately affected by this rising tension.

1. One would hope to see growing acceptance of same-sex relationships,

but even with a sample size of 3,000, the 2% change noted is more or less within the margin of error for such polls.
