Backlash Over LGBT Issues Post-Supreme Court Sodomy Ruling

HeadlineJul 30, 2003

A new USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll indicates the United States has become less tolerant of homosexuality over the last month since the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling overturning anti-sodomy laws.

According to the survey, only 48 percent of respondents now believe that same-sex relations between consenting adults should be legal. This is the lowest percentage since 1996. In May the same poll found 60 percent of Americans approved of such relations.
