Mormons with Evangelicals are the least accepting of homosexuality in society.

But acceptance has increased over the last seven years at the same rate as everyone else -- maybe even a little more. That's what I would consider to be the most revealing finding here. It's not like acceptance increased for everyone else, but Mormons stayed the same. On the other hand, attitudes on abortion didn't change much for most groups. Some were up slightly, a few down slightly. Mormons have stayed the same in their attitudes. There is a clear difference between the two issues for all groups.

Yes, we already knew that Mormons are becoming more liberal on homosexuality from prior surveys.

Also if you look in the survey that you will see religiosity among Mormons has remained very consistent from 2007 to 2014.

It would be interesting to break that down by gender.
