Here's more:

More than a decade after the landmark Obergefell Supreme Court case legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, support for such unions in the United States has fallen from record highs, according to a new Gallup poll.
The poll, released on June 3, showed that after more than two decades of steady growth in advocacy for same-sex marriage, the last couple of years have seen a decline in Americans’ support.
According to Gallup, 65% of U.S. adults say they believe same-sex marriage should be legal, which is a 6% decrease from the peak of 71% recorded in 2022 and 2023.
The nationwide poll, which interviewed 1,001 adults, was conducted between May 1 and May 17. Gallup said the poll's margin of error was ±4 percent.
...
Gallup’s poll on June 3 showed that only 62% of Americans said these types of relationships were “morally acceptable,” its lowest level recorded in the last decade.

The outlet also whined about the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling concerning Colorado's ban on talk-based conversion therapy, and the decline in corporate support for LGBTQ issues. Of course, those are likely two of the reasons why support for gay marriage is declining: people are fed up with the agenda.

One can argue that since it is not newsworthy anymore its popularity would decline. The other argument could be that the inclusion, by the media and the American far left, for transexual in the LGBQ narrative has turned off mainstream Americans interest in the issue.

That's a big factor.

Mainly because the anti-science, anti-realty transgender ideology co-opted the gay rights . Basically saying people had to accept their transgender agenda as fundamental to gay rights. The transgender movement has set equity and inclusiveness back years.

Many gay rights organizations had to rebrand after Obergefell made their primary goal — the legalization of same sex marriage — a reality.

All the credit for this goes to the wacko leftist alphabet mob. Great job! 🙄https://t.co/ChfHMob06K

There are members of the gay community who are trying to distance it from the trans activist movement.

Here’s the breakdown: people have stopped pretending that treating marriage as a special ceremony between a man and woman is homophobic. https://t.co/dIDQMNrY45

That's not a coincidence.

Before then, we thought gay marriage was different than taxpayer funded gender surgeries for trans migrants and illustrated how-to-sex manuals for elementary kids https://t.co/YKdAOV5VDX
