The data comes from an anti-lgbtq+ organization, so I'm gonna call this bullshit. I'm ~~a~~ pretty salty that PBS even promoted this propaganda.

Got a source for them being anti-lgbtq+?
The organization who published this survey is ran by a man who received all of their education at a religious colleges in Missouri, decided to start an "American Values Atlas", and most recently, is pushing a narrative that support for LGBTQ+ people is diminishing, despite other indicators to the contrary. The survey doesn't disclose who the set of participants is, or how the data was collected, just that large number (22,000) was asked as part of an in-house program (an "American Values Atlas").
I just scanned because it wasn’t written for changes to stand out but it’s the headline that’s wrong.
I see a lot of lines like
Americans aged 18-29 show a gradual decrease in support for LGBTQ nondiscrimination laws over the last three years, declining from a peak of 83% in 2020 to 75% in 2023
Technically correct that support is declining, but it’s still a huge majority
Looks like this isn't the general population and just a subset of right leaning populations becoming radicalized. Which has been a general trend lately.
It's a forseen reaction to activists no longer pushing for passive tolerance but rather active support.
Actually good take. I've seen a lot of LGBT communities, especially online in the last few years, move towards an "us vs. them" mentality
Maybe it has something to do with the constant existential threat?
True, but two ideas can be correct. As a species when we’re divided we are arguably at our worst.

Agreed, but it's ignorant (at best) to suggest that trans people are responsible for social division rather than the right-wing groups actively trying to eradicate trans people.
It'd be like blaming Jews for socially dividing Germany in the interwar era.
Smh. It was probably not smart to engage here. I really was trying to have a good faith conversation. I absolutely think that trans folks and LGBTQ+ and everyone else should absolutely be able to have every freedom and liberty to live their lives and pursue happiness without threats of any kind. Period.
Yeah, I feel like the Us vs. Them is kinda originating from the conservative Right though. Every radicalization is just met with more radicalization from the other party. At the end of the day, it's gay people who are being opressed.. and all right-wing people have to complain about are fairy tale propagandas from 4chan and the talking heads on Fox going on about the Trans Agenda converting kids to be gay, which isn't real.
