diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives (DEI)

A Gallup poll shows declining support for LGBTQ+ issues in the U.S., with same-sex marriage approval dropping from 65% to a six-point decrease since 2023 and moral acceptance of gender transition falling to 38%. The shift is driven by Republicans and independents, while Democrats' views remain stable. Public opposition to taxpayer-funded gender surgeries and conservative pushback against DEI initiatives are highlighted as contributing factors.
