U.S. Attitudes on LGBTQ+ Issues Slip From Peak Amid GOP Shift

Gallup's May 2026 survey shows U.S. attitudes toward LGBTQ+ issues plateauing and modestly retreating after two decades of gains: 65% support legal same-sex marriage (down from the early 2020s peak), 62% view gay/lesbian relations as morally acceptable (lowest since 2016), and 38% find changing one’s gender morally acceptable (down 8 points). The declines are largely among Republicans, with independents and Democrats more stable, reflecting conservative pushback on DEI initiatives.

Virginia Democrats push four constitutional amendments, including mid-decade redistricting, on opening day

Virginia House Democrats opened the 2026 session by advancing four constitutional amendments: a narrowly crafted measure to allow the General Assembly to redraw congressional districts mid-decade under specific conditions (expires in 2030), plus amendments to protect abortion rights, automatically restore voting rights for felons, and remove a defunct ban on same-sex marriage. All four move to the Senate, with the redistricting proposal potentially going to an April special statewide election if approved.

Supreme Court declines to revisit landmark same-sex marriage ruling

The Supreme Court declined to revisit its 2015 landmark decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, thereby maintaining the precedent amid concerns from conservatives about potential reversals. The case involved Kim Davis, a Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples due to religious objections, but the court's decision to deny her appeal does not set a new legal precedent.
