DescriptionA new study commissioned by the LGBTQ rights organization GLAAD shows that attitudes toward LGBTQ people have taken a noticeably negative turn for the first time since the group launched its poll four years ago.

According to this year’s Accelerating Acceptance report, announced during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, straight Americans indicated increasing levels of discomfort when asked about relatively common situations, such as “Learning a Family Member is LGBT,” or “Seeing a Same Sex Couple Holding Hands.” In many cases, those numbers met, or even surpassed the original polling data points when GLAAD first conducted this survey in 2014. Similarly, there was an 11% jump of LGBTQ people who reported having personally experienced discrimination from from 2016 to 2017.

"2016 to 2017" would be half Obama's America.

I personally don’t buy this at all.

This is called my fellow gays feeling discriminated from the sole fact of Trump’s election. My word of advice. Get over it.
