American voters say by wide margins that transgender ideology is being promoted too aggressively, including most Gen Z and Millennial Americans, an exclusive DailyMail.com poll has found.
A DailyMail.com/JL Partners survey of 1,000 adults also found that respondents were divided on whether companies like Target should prominently display LGBT products in their stores for Pride Month.
The results suggest that Americans are relatively open to nontraditional lifestyles but are increasingly concerned about the growing prominence of trans ideas in the country’s cultural life.
It comes in the wake of several high-profile controversies over trans issues, including the backlash over Bud Light’s affiliation with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote the beer.

Respondents were split on whether companies like Target should prominently display LGBT products in their stores for Pride month
In our survey, 59 percent of voters said the promotion of trans ideology had gone too far in America, while 16 percent said it hadn’t gone far enough.
This included majorities in every age group, but interestingly also included 51 percent of adults aged 18-29 – a cohort often seen as more supportive of new wave gender ideas.
The results were partial. An overwhelming 93 percent of Republicans said trans ideas were overpromoted, compared to just a quarter of Democrats.
Meanwhile, respondents were split on whether Target and other retailers should prominently display LGBT products in their stores for Pride month.
About 38 percent of people opposed such displays, while 37 percent supported them.
“There is a hidden consensus in America — between young and old, black and white, men and women: that trans and gender ideology has gone too far,” said James Johnson, the founder of JL Partners who led the DailyMail.com survey .
“Instead of the polarized country often spoken of, large margins feel that the promotion of these issues has gone too far. More than half of the 18-29 year olds agree.’
The next time you see coverage of trans issues in the classroom or on college campuses, don’t assume that Generation Z and millennials are all behind them. Like the rest of the country, they seem quietly uncomfortable with the most radical voices on these issues.”
After intense backlash from some customers, Target last month removed certain items and changed its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month.
Similarly, Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light has lost its top position in the US beer market to Modelo Especial, following backlash from conservatives over a social media promotion featuring Mulvaney.

Whether or not society accepts and supports transgender people has become a frontline issue in the culture wars between American liberals and conservatives.
Trans rights groups say the minority group is being wiped out in a “genocide.” Skeptics say that sex is immutable and that the “gender spectrum” has no basis in reality.
Republican politicians in Red states have introduced some 500 bills this year that affect LGBTQ people, dozens of which have already been signed, says the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group.
