Majority of Americans oppose anti-LGBT bathroom bills, new poll finds

A poll has revealed that a majority of Americans oppose ‘bathrooms bills’ that require transgender people to use bathrooms that correspond with their birth-gender, rather than their gender identity.

Public Religion Research Institute released a poll on Friday (March 10) which found that 53% of the 2,000 people surveyed said they oppose the bills.

Around 40% said they support the bills while under 10% claim they had no opinion on the matter.

According to Reuters, the results also revealed that 65% of Democrats and 36% of Republicans oppose the bills.

The poll also found that acceptance for same-sex marriage is also growing as support for it has risen by 52% in three years.

The poll’s results come as Republican leaders in Texas are considering to follow North Carolina by requiring people to use the bathrooms matching their birth-gender.

The decision has sparked a number of protests across the state.
