Americans who believe being gay is a sin are now a minority — a
shift that a Southern Baptist-affiliated research group links to
President Barack Obama's changed opinion of gay marriage.
A
November survey from Nashville-based LifeWay Research found 37 percent
of Americans polled said "yes" when asked if homosexual behavior is a
sin. Forty-five percent said it was not. Seventeen percent didn't know.
That's
a major change from LifeWay's September 2011 survey, when 44 percent
said homosexuality was a sin, 43 percent said it wasn't and 13 percent
didn't know...
Anthea Butler, associate professor of religious studies at the
University of Pennsylvania, said that politics, culture and demographics
have played a role in the growing acceptance of homosexuality. She
pointed to Obama's support of gay marriage as well as gay rights
victories in four state elections this past fall.
There's also the
popularity of gay celebrities such as talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
