Sources

Verification note. Agree/disagree/not-sure totals and party breaks read from SLU's LGBTQ+ issues summary PDF and SLU's February 2023 write-up page (which reports this August 2022 fielding). Exact field dates not published in either source.

Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

Agree 22%65% Disagree

Wording notes: agree/disagree format applied to a policy, not a proposition - grammatically the item is a noun phrase rather than a statement

unclear — the stem asks agreement with a sentence fragment rather than a complete statement, so what respondents are agreeing to is ambiguous; SLU replaced it with a favor/oppose stem in 2023
