Here is a sampler of what our survey respondents said \u2014 in their own words \u2014 that reflects the breadth of the public\u2019s views on these topics.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-prc-platform-feature-loader\" id=\"js-post-gay-marriage-changing-opinions\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While responses above are about different aspects of the debate, and are from different surveys, these questions present a range of voices and look at what&#8217;s changed, and what hasn&#8217;t, in the American public&#8217;s thinking on the issue. Of course, these questions aren\u2019t mutually exclusive: Just because one supports legalizing gay marriage does not mean that he or she necessarily accepts homosexuality and the reverse may be true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our complete series, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/packages\/lgbt-in-changing-times\/ \">LGBT in Changing Times<\/a>,&#8221; includes new surveys, interactive data visuals, maps and legal analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Now, it\u2019s your turn.<\/strong> Do any of these voices speak to you?
