Study: US Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage Linked to Growing Acceptance
(Worthy News) – Anti-LGBT+ biases dropped significantly as same-sex marriage was being legalized across the United States, according to new research looking at the link between attitudes and policy change.
Biases declined both in states that legalized gay marriage and in states that did not, said research by McGill University, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers looked at attitudes among one million Americans over that 12-year stretch, using methods of measuring bias among volunteer participants.
The research, published on Monday, found rates of decreasing anti-gay bias nearly doubled in states where same-sex marriage was approved. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
