US public acceptance of sexual activity between two adults of the same sex has nearly quadrupled since 1990.

According to a national survey of more than 30,000 Americans, those who view sexual activity between two adults of the same sex as being "not wrong at all" increased from 13% in 1990 to 49% in 2014. The shift was even greater for adults under the age of 30, with the proportion rising from 15% to 63% during the same time period.
