“Examining the Typologies of Change in Support for the Civil Union Act and Same-Sex Marriage Over Fourteen Years (2009–2023)”
(Clarke, 2026)
ARTICLE SUMMARY: This study followed more than 65,000 people over 14 years to examine how support for same-sex relationships and related policies changed over time. Most people showed consistently high support, while smaller groups had moderate or low support that generally increased over time. People with more conservative beliefs, higher levels of sexual prejudice, authoritarian attitudes, and hostile sexism were more likely to be in the lower-support groups and to support conservative political parties. Overall, the findings suggest that support for same-sex relationships has become the norm for most people, although a smaller group continues to hold negative attitudes that may contribute to ongoing threats to LGB+ rights.
