Lithuania having a worser view when compared to Poland and India is surprising.
this is a better human development indicator than HDI
Of all the more homophobic countries, South Korea stands out as being both not very religious and a democracy. Why is homosexuality so taboo there?
Whoa, hats off to Japan for that massive improvement. Nigeria though **☠️**
Other than Nigeria, apparently, where they have actually increased
Give it a minute. The right wing swing is sadly just getting started.
Only one Muslim-majority country surveyed?
Yet people tried to convince me that the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Canada, Germany, etc. should be at the bottom of this list by now. Total lies, I see.
The disparity between Japan and South Korea is shocking. Damn.
Japan realized that all genitals look the same when they’re blurred out.
Crazy how views are much better in traditional Japan compared to USA.
China and Korea are SUPER homophobic. Had absolutely nfi….
Whats being openly homosexual in China like?
Would be nice to have more of Africa shown to better contextualize Nigeria.
The title is incredibly misleading. It’s not around the world. The data set ignores most of Africa, which is where the highest concentration of misogyny and homophobia exists.
It’s like saying people are getting healthier while only surveying people who go to a gym and ignoring the population of people who aren’t going to a gym.
Selection bias is crazy
Really makes you appreciate Canada more compared to the US.
Me, an european, passing the halfway point of the chart: oh, I guess my unimportant country wasn’t included in the chart.
Me reaching the last positions, between Russia and China: oh no. No no no
The world: Europe and like 2 countries
This number is btw not telling how many people how homophobic views. A person can easily have many homophobic views without necessary agreeing that „Homosexuality can never or rarely be justified“. So even though the trend is going in a positive direction, it doesn’t mean that e.g. only 7% of people in Denmark are homophobes.
Which apparently makes those opposed even wilder and more hateful the more they fall into the minority.
No surprise that the reddit leftists aren’t making a peep about their favourites Venezuela and China (!!!) being more homophobic than Nazi right wing evil America
Once again, I searched after Belgium in vain 😂 maybe a lack of data
I doubt China is that bad. The people there have learned to parrot the party line for their own good. I think even a supposedly anonymous survey would give them pause.
Nigeria: „gay is still gay“
Eh. Pretty hard to see Denmark 30 years ago being 42 percent. The first gay wedding had already happened and if you were around it was hard to find anyone who had a problem with it. Taboos had gone long before.
Maybe they sampled the small religious communities in Jutland.
The decrease in Japan is amazing.
Interesting that south korea performed so much worse considering their I’d say rather similar conditions (industrialized nation, geographical proximity, US influence)
I know that korea also has a huge problem with misogyny so I can’t say it comes as a surprise but does anyone have a concrete explanation why that is?
„homosexuality can never or rarely be justified“ like I need a reason 😂
Saying that homophonic views have declined across the world makes it seem like homophonic views have worsened, when actually they have improved (depending on who you ask). I understand you’re looking at the numerical responses to a specific question, but that is not clear until the viewer starts interpreting the data.
Heartening to see, but still a long way to go, and sadly I fear we are seeing things creep backwards in the West.
I’d like to see Ireland on this. During the ’70s and ’80s I’ve heard it was basically Handmaid’s Tale, at least on this issue. And now Dublin is being advertised as a gay mecca
Türkiye was probably less homophobic towards the end of the 1990s. Even Erdoğan, the islamist leader of Türkiye since 2001, had some interviews where he said „We will defend the LGBT rights too“ at around 2000. Now he is one of the main enemies of homosexuality.
And yet leftists will hand on heart believe the west is evil.
