Republican support for gay marriage hit its lowest point in nearly a decade while Democrat support has never been higher.
In a new Gallup poll, Americans were asked if they thought "marriages between same-sex couples" should be recognized by law, with the same rights as traditional marriages. Only 41% of Republicans thought they should be, while a whopping 88% of Democrats said the marriages should be legal.
'Conservativism should begin with upholding God’s view of marriage between a man and a woman.'
The GOP numbers represented the lowest amount of support for same-sex marriage in the poll since 2016 when it was 40%, while in 2015 it was just 30%.
Democrats set a new record for themselves, though, and after losing a few percentage points the last couple of years, they increased the record responses from 2022, when the number was 87%.
The entirety of support among U.S. adults has slowly trended down from its 2022 peak of 71% support to 68% in 2025.

Americans were also asked for their views on the "moral acceptability of same-sex relations," regardless of legality. Just 38% of Republicans deemed them morally acceptable, while 86% of Democrats polled agreed. Overall, 64% of U.S. adults deemed same-sex relations morally acceptable.
"If conservatives want to win, it’s time for them to start conserving," reporter Natasha Biase told Blaze News. "Conservativism should begin with upholding God’s view of marriage between a man and a woman."
Far more Republicans agreed with Biase 30 years ago than they do today, according to Gallup's historical polling. Data dating back to 1996 shows Republican support for the idea did not exceed one-in-five until 2010. Since then, it has steadily increased, including its peak support of 55% — the only majority — from 2021 to 2022. It has trended down since then.

Democrat support has had a less rocky incline. A majority of the party's voters have supported gay marriage since 2006. It dipped below 50% in 2005, after a majority in 2004, as well.
"I think this is happening because the slippery slope exists," Biase continued. "First, it was gay marriage, and now, it’s literal toddlers taking hormones because they think they are another gender."
Since 2022, Democrats and independents have slowly continued to increase their support, but the downturn for Republicans has been enough to decrease the national average.

'The Widening of God’s Mercy' lacks a credible defense of its thesis and ignores the most important relevant biblical texts.Is mental health a myth? Why Big Pharma may be profiting off drugs that hurt more than help
Dr. John MacArthur is an American pastor, author of the new book "The War on Children" — and a man who doesn’t believe common mental diagnoses are real.
MacArthur had recently gone viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, for his comments on the latter.
“There’s no such thing as PTSD, there’s no such thing as OCD, there’s no such thing as ADHD. Those are noble lies to basically give the excuse to, in the end of the day, to medicate people,” MacArthur said in the viral clip, adding, “And Big Pharma is in charge of a lot of that.”
While he’s faced severe backlash on social media from Christians who claim this thinking is dangerous, he explains to Allie Beth Stuckey why he said what he said.
“The brain can be sick. The brain can be damaged. You can have a tumor. You can have encephalitis. You can have a brain problem,” MacArthur tells Stuckey. “The mind is something completely different. The mind is transcendent. You can’t fix the mind with a chemical. You can wound the brain. And that’s what’s coming out now in psychiatry.”
According to MacArthur, the idea that a medication could fix “the chemical imbalance” in your brain was “a useful lie” all along.
“Is there post-traumatic stress? Of course. Is it a brain syndrome? No. Is there ADHD? Are there kids who have trouble paying attention, trouble sitting still? Yeah, I was one of them. Is it a brain problem? No. What about obsessive compulsive problems, is that a brain disorder? No,” MacArthur explains.
“The culture’s bent is to say, ‘Hey, it’s not your fault, it’s not your fault, you’ve got a disorder,’” he continues. “PTSD is really grief. It’s horrendous grief. It’s survival guilt. It’s having watched your buddies blown to pieces. You got to deal with that grief. But putting a chemical into your body that will alter your brain, that’s what’s becoming the issue now.”
“If you want to solve your mind problems, you’ve got to find love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. Those are spiritual virtues that are available in Christ. Don’t turn to chemicals. Turn to Christ,” MacArthur says.
Stuckey isn’t one of his critics.
“We’ve had psychiatrists on the show say the same thing that you said, by the way, that actually we are causing a lot of harm, especially to children by diagnosing or medicalizing every single behavior that doesn’t fit perfectly into a classroom or doesn’t fall in line with this uniform range of normal.”
“It is actually causing side effects in these kids, in these veterans that actually make it worse than what they were dealing with before,” she comments.
