The majority of Republicans say homosexuality should be accepted in Pew poll first
For the first time, the Pew Research Center found that the majority of Republicans say homosexuality should be accepted, a new study published Thursday shows.
Democrats still overwhelmingly believe "homosexuality should be accepted by society," with 83 percent agreeing, although 54 percent of Republicans now feel the same. "Ten years ago, just 35 percent of Republicans held this view," Pew writes, "little different than the 38 percent who said this in 1994."
