Since 2021, fewer Americans have said that gay or lesbian relations and changing one's gender are morally acceptable and have favored legal same-sex marriage.
Democrats are less likely than in the past to see conditions as positive, while Republicans are upbeat, as is typical for them with a GOP president.
Nine percent of U.S. adults identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, more than double the percentage a decade ago.
Two decades of trends show that more people today think their communities are good places for gay and lesbian people, but divides remain.
