Are there any traditional moral taboos left?

A new Gallup poll says people are moving toward acceptance of a wide variety of behaviors once condemned as taboo and morally unacceptable.

Americans are more likely now than in 2001 to accept gay and lesbian relations, having a baby outside of marriage and sex between an unmarried man and woman. Moral acceptability of many of these issues is now at a record-high level, according to a Gallup poll taken last month.

There is also growing acceptance of divorce, stem-cell research and polygamy, Gallup says.

In 2001, only 40 percent of people surveyed said gay and lesbian relations were acceptable. That’s now up to 63 percent saying it’s morally acceptable, a jump of 23 percent.

That was the most dramatic change on the list of behaviors monitored, and it’s been reflected in changing laws across the United States as gay marriage attains wider recognition.

Only 45 percent of people in 2001 said that having a baby outside marriage was acceptable. That’s now up to 61 percent, an increase of 16 percent.
