John Shore is a straight Christian writer, blogger and author of
several books, including "10 Ways (We) Christians Fail to be
Christian."
In a recent post, John Shore came up with some very interesting numbers from recent national polls.
The numbers represented the American public's perception of gay and transgender men and women.
Here's a part:
"Do Americans prefer transgender people to gay people?
So the pretty darn surprising news out this week, courtesy of the
Public Religion Research Institute, is:
* 89% percent of Americans (including strong majorities of all
religious and partisan groups) think transgender people deserve the
same rights and protections as other Americans.
* 75% of Americans agree that Congress should pass laws to protect
transgender people from job discrimination.
* Approximately two-thirds of Americans not only know what the
term “transgender “means, they’re well informed about transgender
people and issues.
* Three out of four Americans think Congress should pass
employment nondiscrimination laws that protect transgender people.
These are Actual Findings from a recent RPPI survey, about which you
