Conservative Republicans (40%) are the only ideological group with less than half reporting increased support for transgender rights; even among this group, only 43% report they have become more opposed to transgender rights over this period.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This broad and growing support for transgender rights from nearly every group and across party and religious lines demonstrates just how dramatically American attitudes have shifted across the last decade,&#8221; notes PRRI CEO <span class=\"xn-person\">Robert P. Jones<\/span>. &#8220;This emerging consensus of support for transgender rights and increasing comfort with transgender people, especially among more conservative groups, is a sign that we may be seeing the beginning of the end of transgender issues being used as political wedges.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Notable Findings <\/b><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>24% of Americans report having a transgender close friend or family member. <\/li>\n<li>46% report having a bisexual close friend or family member and 68% report having a gay or lesbian close friend or family member. <\/li>\n<li>Nearly two thirds (63%) of Americans today favor allowing transgender people to serve in the U.S. military.
