It's also something of a bait-and-switch with polls here. "Falls" relative to what? Note there's no link or comparator in the tweet.
YouGov have used various different wordings for this kind of Q, but 54% support for gay marriage is pretty consistent with their polling going back years.

This is another widespread trope on Twitter at the moment. It’s ’the Queers went too far’ & includes strawmen arguments as in here (1) ungrateful Queer ppl & (2) in other cases, the inclusion of trans ppl in the community. It’s a ridiculously stupid & rightwing piece of rhetoric. Let’s examine it*

The LSJ Greek dictionary even suggests that the word was specifically coined as an emendation of the passage from the Gospels

The claim that it is a confusion in the Greek text (κάμιλος - "rope" v. κάμηλος - "camel") is much older, but it is just as dubious since κάμιλος is also first attested in the context of interpreting that passage from the Gospels

It's not true though. The supposed Aramaic word for "rope" that resembles the word for "camel" in the same language doesn't appear until centuries after the compositions of the Gospels and its first attestation is suspiciously in the context of interpreting the passage in question

The supposed Greek work for rope that is similar to "camel" is not attested at all before Cyril's claim and after him basically only appears in discussions of that passage of the Gospels or as lexiographical glosses to the word "camel" in like two Byzantine commentaries

No, the original claim was about the supposed similarity of the words in Greek. The problem is that it seems that Cyril of Alexandria basically made that up in the 5th century lol.

Even if that data is accurate, it's specifically about the frequency of attendance among church-goers. People who don't attend church at all are excluded from the dataset.

Just a few weeks after she published that article though, the paper was shut down again because the contributors were caught sharing racial slurs and Nazi symbols lol

I just read that Atlantic article and one of the evidences she used for the resurgence of a campus right was the revival of a conservative student newspaper in Harvard.

I think that whatever caused the weird Labour crosstab is also responsible for the weird 25-35 crosstab. In their polling, that age group has like 30% support for Labour, much higher than the other groups.

The age crosstabs seem to suggest that older Gen Z/younger millenials are the most homophobic age cohort in Britain, which, uh, is not something that replicates to my knowledge

Even the trans result being just slightly below Reform voters seems wrong to me. It's slop polling, I am fraid.

The results do seem to match almost perfectly with the responses for the "would you be disappointed if you hadn't grandchildren" question in the same survey. Do we have any reason to think Labour voters are more likely to want grandchildren than voters of other parties? I don't think so

Labour suck in many ways, but I don't think this has anything to do with leadership. It's either 1) ethnic minorities being generally Labour voters and also more socially conservative than native Brits, 2) just a fake result produced by what seems to be an opt-in panel.

There have been numerous surveys on LGBT issues and I don't think any of them has showed Labour voters more anti-gay or anti-trans than Conservative or Reform voters. It's a finding that simply doesn't replicate. It's probably just wrong data from I what assume is opt-in slop polling

The steelman version of the argument is that voters would notice the effects of economic growth, even if they aren't reading quarterly GDP reports. The problem with tha argument is that consumer sentiment and economic metrics have been decoupled for the past three years or so

At least a quarter of the responses would be something really outlandish, like 20% in either direction
