More Americans are fighting for LGBTQ [[Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) rights than ever before.

As religious intolerance to the LGBTQ Community changes, could we eventually see an end to hostile politicians like Mike Pence and a decrease in hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community?

An LGBT opinion poll reveals growing support for protections of transgender rights, including Trump’s transgender military ban.

The national survey examines how Americans view transgender issues including support for:
- Transgender rights in comparison to five years ago
- Transgender military service
- Having a transgender close friend or family member
- Learning a teacher at their local elementary school is transgender
- “Bathroom Bill” policies

Natalie Jackson, Research Director of the Public Religion Research Institute discussed the opinion poll survey results on LGBT and transgender questions with Thom, on the day of release.
