Speaking of Muslims being homophobes (as if that's exclusively/predominantly a Muslim thing):
2017 Poll Shows American Muslims Are Less Homophobic Than White Evangelical Christians
52 percent of Muslim Americans now agree that homosexuality should be accepted by society. A big jump from just 27 percent in 2007. Also of note, "greater margin than any other group in the survey".
2017 Poll Shows American Muslims Are Less Homophobic Than White Evangelical Christians
Quote:But what’s perhaps more noteworthy, particularly for Trump’s opponents, is Pew’s finding about Muslim Americans’ attitudes toward the LGBT community. Statistically, they’ve become much more accepting of LGBT people: 52 percent of Muslim Americans now agree that homosexuality should be accepted by society—up from just 27 percent in 2007. And while they are not the most accepting group polled, their views have shifted toward being gay-friendly by a greater margin than any other group in the survey. White evangelical Christians remain the least accepting; the group’s views were comparable to those of Muslim Americans in 2007, with 23 percent of white evangelical Christians saying homosexuality should be accepted by society. Today only 34 percent say the same. It’s also worth highlighting that about 80 percent of white evangelicals who voted backed Trump, according to exit polls.
