      For being the gayest empire in the world Greece is shockingly low. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much

      Please bear in mind that this is already quite a bit out of date. Every year is like 2% of the total history of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

      It’s not surprising that the right is not in favor. After all, it’s the right who wants to control your life.

      Interesting that fewer people in Israel consider religion to be important in their lives than in the US.

      Fun fact: The current leader of the far-right/nazi party in Germany (the AfD, “Alternative for Germany”) Alice Weidel is a lesbian woman. Her party wants to encourage “traditional families”.

      No, they do not get the irony.

      I hate that I live in a society where I have to be “approved” by the majority to actually have my rights based on my sexual orientation.

      I was always told Israel supports gay marriage. That was a huge example I was always told about why it’s such a great country. Kinda seems like maybe they don’t actually.

      I’m guessing the missing Malaysia airliner did not stop at a gay bar. Ok, ruled out one possibility.

      Considering South Korea is the world capital of plastic surgery and makeup for men I’m pretty surprised how against gay marriage they are. But not too surprising I guess since they’re also known as the most discriminatory and racist Asian country.

      Canada here way too worried about housing prices. Don’t really care who you sleep with

    15. Aggguss on

      This kind of thing always annoys me.

      Why the fuck would you care if a person (you don’t even know, and even if you do) marries someone of the same sex?

      Are no other Middleastern countries represented because they weren’t allowed to conduct the survey in those countries? What’s going on there

      I think a lot of those Asian countries are due to legalize it within the next 20 or 30 years. Opposition to gay marriage in countries like India or Japan was never really religiously based after all so it’s a lot easier to overcome

      In India for example the RSS, the right wing Hindu nationalist paramilitary org which the BJP is a part of, basically said they were fine with gay people and while they don’t support gay marriage at the moment “they’re open to changing their position in the future” which isn’t exactly hardcore opposition lol

      Difference between India and Sri Lanka is surprising considering how similar their cultures are. India is +10 acceptance while Sri Lanka is -46

      Massive difference

    20. Cuddlyaxe on

      Interesting that centrists in certain countries (Brazil, France) seem more likely to accept gay marriage than the left

    21. very_random_user on

      Italy appears to have strong bipartisan support and yet gay marriage isn’t even in the conversation.

    25. veggie151 on

      Separating Mexico from the US and Canada feels loaded.

      They are more in favor than the US and are definitively in North America

      Wake me up after SCOTUS overturns the Obergefell decision during the 2nd Trump administration and half of Republican voters decide to vote for a Democrat in 2028 in protest of the decision.

      Until then, my gay ass doesn’t buy it. Because if 86%+ of the LGBTQ+ community voted for Harris in 2024 and Trump still won, it’s a clear signal to our community that there are a lot of conservatives who say they support gay marriage but could gaf if the right gets stripped away.

      I’m so confused about Brazil. Did they get a weird sample, or am I just assuming open-ness incorrectly? When I went there it was pride flags everywhere. Huge gay culture/bar scene. Some of the best LGBT legislation. And one of the biggest pride parades in the world is in Sao Paulo.

      First, the topic is very interesting and this really is beautifully presented data, well done.

      Can someone explain why Greece is so much more opposed than Italy or UK? (Unfortunately, I assume I know what’s driving Poland and Hungary.)

      How can over 90% of a population of any country possibly honestly say religion is important in their life? (Nigeria, Indonesia etc) What is that about other than theocracy?

    32. lostan on

      i feel bad for all the stupid straight people who have the time to gaf about other people’s love lives.

    34. Quick-Ad-1181 on

      Surprised that more people in India support same sex marriage than Greece. Homosexuality is attributed(not that they invented it, but were ok with it way back in time) to the Greeks in a lot of literature. I saw it described as ‘Vices of the Greeks’ in a period movie I recently watched.

    35. Telescopeinthefuture on

      The amount of people who want to forcibly control others to adhere to their ideology is too damn high

    36. idk_wuz_up on

      The irony that more women than men support it. So much damage would be stopped if men would simply come out of the closet and stop marrying women to cover up their true sexual identity.

      Go 3rd world! At least a few countries still heed to the word of god! Good illustration of what countries are a woke joke. West is falling
