IIRC, it didn't drop into the negative, it just went down for the first time in years.
I went back an rewatched the episode of the Lotus Eaters podcast I saw it on, and while it didnt include the disapproval, it did show that acceptance had dropped from 53% to 45%. So if its not negative, it is only a plurality, which isnt much better. Although I also agree with the point that Callum made. That being that its likely a reflection of "the movement" and activist types, while people are still supportive of individuals who happen to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or trans.

Yeah, I seriously doubt there's any real animosity towards genuine gays et all. It's mostly going to be opposition to the Queers.
