    Americans' support for same-sex relations has dropped seven points since last year, a new poll from Gallup found.

    The annual Values and Beliefs poll, which was conducted by Gallup between May 1 and 24, measures Americans' moral beliefs on a number of different topics, including divorce, the death penalty, abortion, and same-sex relationships.

    "Last year, a record-high 71% of U.S. adults said gay or lesbian relations are morally acceptable. The figure has fallen back this year to 64%, returning to a level last seen in 2019," Gallup noted in an article explaining the poll results.

    Gallup attributes the sharp decline primarily to Republicans. While 56% of Republicans said that same-sex relations were acceptable last year, the figure has plummeted to 41%. The vast majority of Democrats, 79%, say that same-sex relations are morally acceptable, while 73% of Independents agree.

    "The current figure is the lowest Gallup has measured for Republicans since 2014," when it was 39%, Gallup states.

    Meanwhile, acceptance of same-sex relationships remains significantly higher than it was in the recent past, however. In 2002, only 38% of Americans found same-sex relationships acceptable, while only 54% believed they were acceptable in 2012.

    The poll also found that there was a three-point drop in the percentage of people who believe divorce to be morally acceptable, with 81% of respondents saying that it is acceptable in 2022, as opposed to 78% in 2023. The number of Americans who say that abortion is morally acceptable did not change between 2022 and 2023, remaining at 52%.

    Approval for pornography usage experienced a slight decrease from 41% to 39%, while approval for sex between unmarried men and women dipped 4% from 76% to 72%.

    The poll results come after a different Gallup poll found that Americans overwhelmingly believe that people should play in the sports league that corresponds with their sex. A full 69% of respondents say that athletes should only be able to play on "teams that match their birth gender." The figure is up seven points from 2021.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
