Looking at the years 1973 through 1999, it is clear to see a growing majority of the American public supports lesbian and gay equal rights.
Though the majority of Americans support:
- Employment and housing non-discrimination;
- Gays in the military;
- Tangible benefits that accrue to married couples.
They still oppose:
- Same-sex marriage;
- Adoption.
Despite what the anti-gay right wing claims, mainstream America can be an ally to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights movement.
