About 65% of U.S. adults believe same-sex marriage should be legal, down slightly from 71% in 2022 and 2023.
In a sign that views of LGBTQ+ issues may be shifting more broadly, the new Gallup poll found that about 4 in 10 Americans view changing one’s gender as morally acceptable, down from nearly half in 2021.
I swear, if the Christian heaven exists and St Peter is there at the gates, this is how it will go for those people:
St. Peter: “Let’s see… It says here that you proclaimed that it’s immoral for a person to change their gender because it’s ‘against God’s plan.’”
Self-described Christian: “Yes. That’s correct.”
St. Peter: “But it also says that you had surgery to remove tumors and had your wisdom teeth taken out.”
Self-described Christian: “Uh, yes. What does that have to do with anything?”
St. Peter: “According to your regular proclamations of absolute morality, what you’re born with is God’s plan… So by that logic, having surgery of any kind is immoral. Hypocrisy is a great sin”
Self-described Christian: “That’s not the same thing! I just did what my doctors told me to do! They’re the medical experts, not me.”
St. Peter: “So if doctors recommended a person get their sex changed, then it would be OK?”
Self-described Christian: “No. Those would be incredibly immoral doctors!”
St Peter: “I see. Ya know, Jesus harshest words were reserved for hypocrites.” (He presses the button and Self-described Christian drops down into hell)
St Peter: “NEEEEXT!”
Atheist: “I uh… Just tried to be nice.”
St. Peter, as he unlocks the gates: “Welcome to heaven!”
Exactly spot on. 👍
