A new Pew Poll show an increasing number of American Muslims are accepting of homosexuality. This year's Pew Poll showed that 52% of US Muslims believe "homosexuality should be accepted by society." (At Left: A Gay Pride Parade in London)

This is an increase from 29% in 2011 and 27% in 2007. In fact, it seems as though US Muslims are actually more accepting of homosexuality than their white Evangelical Christians.

In 2016, only 34 per cent of white evangelical Christians believed that homosexuality should be accepted by society. This was an increase from 29 per cent in 2011 and 23 per cent in 2006.

On the positive side, research from earlier this year showed that support for equal marriage among evangelicals is slowly rising. Despite the majority still opposing same-sex marriages, the acceptance rate has grown 21 percent in the last decade from a 14 percent acceptance rate up to 35 percent now.
