Acceptance of Gay Sex Declines in the UK

[Al Mumtahanah]

1/3 disapprove

"The finding, based on a survey of 2,884 people, coincided with the first dip in more than a decade in people saying they think sex before marriage is not at all wrong, with people from non-Christian religious groups the most likely to disapprove."

What do you take from this? I think it means the UK must reevaluate the uniformity of what was taken for granted. What defines being British. I don't feel either positive or negative about this I just think it has to be kept in mind and that culture changes.

Sounds like Britain needs to be liberated.

Sounds like Britain needs to be liberated.

What do you mean?

[Tristainland]

This probably mostly because of Muslim immigration.

[Othelos]

It's a relatively small dip (looks like maybe 3%) and doesn't mean that the general trend of rising acceptance is changing

Turns out, letting a bunch of bigotted twats have partial control over the government, and having a different bunch of bigotted twats drag us all off a cliff to fuel their bigotry makes bigots come out of the woodwork. What a fucking surprise.

My gay brother is a GP in a very Muslim area of Birmingham. They love him. I wonder if that would change if they found out he was a terrible gay.

From the article:

The finding, based on a survey of 2,884 people, coincided with the first dip in more than a decade in people saying they think sex before marriage is not at all wrong, with people from non-Christian religious groups the most likely to disapprove.

Religious and politically conservative groups have been increasingly vocal in their resistance to social liberalism. This week, parents at Parkfield community school in Saltley, Birmingham, restarted protests over the teaching of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues in schools, arguing the lessons are inconsistent with their understanding of Islam.

It'll be Islamic attitudes towards it that is skewing the statistics, and the emboldened reactionary far-right that has emerged in recent years.

This is hardly a surprise. The UK has a lot of immigrants and a fair amount of them come from places where homosexuality is hated, if not outright illegal. That said, I'm also not keen to read too much into surveys.

[Neutraligon]

The article itself said further study is needed to know if this is statistically significant...

Yup, it's a movement that's well within the margin of error.

It might be best he keep it to himself :\ A friend of a friend who is gay got beaten up by Muslims when they found out about his homosexuality. And this was in Canada.

[Vassenor]

This probably mostly because of Muslim immigration.

Actual sources needed. Not just your personal racism.

[LiberNovusAmericae]

Islam.

He can take care of himself. He's also a ninja.

[Vassenor]

Islam.

Gonna need an actual source for that being the cause of a within-MOE shift.

This probably mostly because of Muslim immigration.

Actual sources needed. Not just your personal racism.

"with people from non-Christian religious groups the most likely to disapprove."

What other non-Christian religious group would be most likely to disapprove of gay sex Vass? The Pastafarians?

Muslims aren't a race.

It's also not unreasonable to assume that immigrants from Muslim dominated, third world countries likely hold anti-gay opinions. It's just as reasonable as thinking Christian immigrants from third world countries would likely hold anti-gay beliefs.

[LiberNovusAmericae]

Islam.

Gonna need an actual source for that being the cause of a within-MOE shift.

Who else would it be? The article explains that non-christians are mostly responsible for the decline. Let's not ignore that it is probably due to Islam just because Muslims happen to be mostly brown.

"with people from non-Christian religious groups the most likely to disapprove."

What other non-Christian religious group would be most likely to disapprove of gay sex Vass? The Pastafarians?

Some Buddhists and Hindus might not tolerate homosexuality, I guess. And Conservative Jews.

Or let's not jump to conclusions because a year on year study reported a change within its own admitted margin of error.

Well the Dalai Lama condemned homophobia. I know in the US, Buddhists have a high rate of acceptance. I don't imagine Buddhists in Britain being that much different

So we're jumping to conclusions because a year on year study reported a change within its own margin of error then.

UMN gave you polling the other day showing a solid half of the Muslim population in your nation is opposed to this sort of stuff lol. You're white knighting for people who statistically are split 50-50 on whether you being out of the closet should be legal. How does that not bother you?

It is only a problem to be bigoted if you're white.
