The only states without majority support for same-sex marriage are Mississippi (47%) and Arkansas (50%).

Massachusetts (85%), Rhode Island (85%), and Vermont (81%) show the highest support.

Most Americans support nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people (72%), with Democrats (90%) being the most supportive, followed by independents (76%) and Republicans (56%).

Majorities of most major religious groups support non-discrimination protections, though support is highest among non-Christians and the religiously unaffiliated.

Americans ages 18-29 have shown a gradual decrease in support for LGBTQ nondiscrimination laws, from 80% in 2015 to 70% in 2025, largely driven by young Republicans, while seniors 65 and over have increased their support from 61% to 74% over the same period.
