A recent Pew Research Center poll highlighted the stark difference of opinion former President Donald Trump’s supporters and and those of President Joe Biden have on issues related to marriage and family.
…
Nearly 60 percent of Trump supporters — and 54 percent of his female supporters — said that society is better off when it prioritizes marriage and family, compared to only 19 percent of Biden backers who shared the same view.
Did you pick up on that? Those numbers indicate that substantially more male Trump supporters are pro-marriage and pro-family than are female supporters. What does it say about me that I find that surprising?
Thirty-seven percent of Trump supporters of all demographics said they were uncomfortable with women not taking their husband’s last name, while the number plummeted to 13 percent for Biden supporters.
When asked about whether or not abortion should be legal in all cases, nearly half of Biden supporters, 42 percent, said it should be legal in “most or all cases.” Only 9 percent of Trump supporters shared the same view.
…
The declining birth rate was another topic addressed in the poll, and the contrast between Trump and Biden voters was also glaring. Forty-seven percent of Trump supporters are concerned with declining birth rates, while about half as many Biden supporters, 23 percent, shared the same concern.
In a way—and considering some of the other responses—I’m surprised at that 23%, that it’s that high.
A large portion of Biden supporters, nearly 50 percent, view the declining birth rates as neither good nor bad, and over a quarter said the declining birth rate was a good thing.
A new Ipsos poll shows Americans’ support for homosexual ‘marriage’ dropped 8 points in just three years, down to 51%, as people increasingly turn against the LGBT colonization of society.
According to the “Ipsos LGBT+ Pride Report 2024,” released this month, support for homosexual “marriage” in the United States has actually plunged to 51% after peaking in 2021. When asked directly about their opinion on same-sex “couples” by Ipsos, 51% supported homosexual “marriage,” 14% supported some other form of legal recognition for same-sex relationships, and 18% supported no legal recognition whatsoever.
The numbers may not seem dramatic, but as Unherd noted: “In 2014, 46% of Ipsos respondents believed gay couples should be allowed to marry. That climbed to 59% by 2021, then dropped to 54% in 2023 and decreased a further three points this year. The post-2021 decline in support has been smaller than the pre-2021 rise, but it has occurred at a much faster rate.” It is not an accident that in 2021, parents began to become aware of the extent to which their children were being indoctrinated into LGBT ideology in schools and the transgender agenda – including “sex changes” for minors – became increasingly clear to people.
Indeed, some homosexual activists have admitted that accepting the “T” alongside “LGB” has likely begun to erode support for the LGBT agenda overall. But there is, of course, more to it than that. The LGBT movement has attempted, with staggering success, to occupy and dominate every aspect of Western culture, from the public schools to public crosswalks. It has become crystal clear to an increasing number of people that their “live and let live” slogan was merely for public consumption – once they gained the cultural power they sought, they had no intention leaving people alone. From churches to bakeries, from florists to classrooms, the rainbow flag is one of colonization.
Indeed, many “moderate” Republicans who initially supported the redefinition of marriage have had second thoughts, with GOP support dropping from 56% to 41% between 2022 and 2023.
LGBT 'Pride Month' isn't a celebration, it's an assertion of cultural dominance by radicals. One only needs to look at the reactions of activists when their rainbow sidewalks end with tire marks to see that this is the case.
I wonder how many of those have been Christian coaches, Boston Celtics Joe Mazzulla said when asked if he took pride; in the fact that the head coaches of both teams in this years NBA Finals are black.
BOSTON (LifeSiteNews) The head coach of the National Basketball Associations Boston Celtics again left reporters speechless after his team took a 2-0 lead against the Dallas Mavericks in this years NBA Finals.
Joe Mazzulla, 35, has been at the helm of the historic Celtics franchise since mid-season last year. He previously served as an assistant then took the head coach role on an interim basis. In 2023, he was one of three finalists for the prestigious Coach of the Year award.
Mazzullas squad bested the Mavericks 105-98 Sunday night at TD Garden in downtown Boston. The team needs only two more victories to capture the franchises 18th NBA title.
Following the win, Mazzulla was asked by Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports whether he takes pride in the fact that the head coaches of both teams in the Finals are black for the first time since 1975.
Mazzulla, a devout Catholic of mixed-race heritage who was born in Rhode Island to a Sicilian father and African American mother, responded in epic fashion.
I wonder how many of those have been Christian coaches, he said.
The answer stunned the press corps, who sat in silence with no follow-up question or further remark given by Mazzulla.

Mazzulla made similar headlines in 2022 for witnessing to his faith after a game that was attended by Englands Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton.
An excited female reporter asked him if he had met with the royal family.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph? he replied with a straight face.
The reporter giggled then clarified she was talking about the prince and princess of Wales.
Oh, no, I did not, Mazulla retorted, as reporters sat in silence. Im only familiar with one royal family. I dont know too much about that one.
Mazulla was hired as an assistant by the Celtics in 2019, having coached at NCAA Division II Fairmont State the previous two seasons. He played college basketball at West Virginia University. He is married and has two children.

Go Coach! (I'm not a Christian, but people who actually live their faith, whatever it is, have my total respect.)
This is more proof that we cannot live together.
