Des sondages récents montrent que même des états jugés conservateurs s'élèvent contre la discrimination...
"As gay rights advocates have made gains over the last few years, the public seems to be moving in the same direction. Friday saw the release of a new poll sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Citizens for Equal Protection showing citizens deep in the middle of conservative America - in Nebraska - are solidly for non-discrimination protections for members of the gay, lesbian bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, even if the current state laws are not. 73 percent of Nebraskans surveyed support protecting LGBT people from discrimination in employment, protections which currently don't exist there.
The survey comes as Public Policy Polling (D) has been polling a diversity of states on the question of gay marriage and civil unions. Those polls have shown that some version of recognition for same sex couples is popular: even in the most Republican state in the union, Utah, 60 percent supported either gay marriage or civil unions, a trend also reflected in a separate HRC polling of the state.
The Nebraska poll is significant because it shows that even in a solidly conservative state that is against gay marriage (registering a 51 - 42 break in opposition) there is strong support for non-discrimination protections for LGBT people. The question asked was straightforward: "Do you support the following? Protecting gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people from discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodation." 73 percent did, with 20 percent against. Other majorities supported the ability of LGBT people to adopt children (56 - 40) and anti-bullying measures in schools (73 - 22)."
