Funny how countries with more Evangelicals are less tolerant. The US government covertly pushed Evangelicalism over the last few decades since it believed Catholicism promoted Communism and anti-capitalist ideology (interfered with corporate slavery of the locals).
You can look at Guatemala as an example of a US backed right wing government genociding the Mayan population from the 1970s onward and taking their land to be used for industrialized agriculture.

Huh, any idea why Argentina and Uruguay are so supportive? Idk why but maybe I was ill-informed and thought that they are homophobic.

Yet here you are, unable to even fill in all of the map. Those little islands on Chile’s coast? Fuck ‚em.

Brazilians can be homophobic as shit. I know a woman who lives in Portugal where she has met so many gay Brazilians who moved there partially because the homophobia they faced, with their parents disowning them, is so rampant.

Interesting that Argentina is the most opened minded but also carry the title of most racist

I think Brazil will see a big increase in the future. Homosexuality seems socially tolerated in the general urban culture, but the same people whom are „live and let live“ in those cities can still be anti-marriage for gay people based on their religious beliefs and personal conservative values.
Basically, based on what I’ve seen from Brazilian culture, it will pull ahead of Mexico on this one day.
I always forget that Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are not considered Latin American countries.

Same sex relationships are as old as time. I don’t understand how folks are blind to that fact.

Why is the difference between neighbouring countried so stark? Is it just domestic politics or culture, history etc.?

As a person from Uruguay that usually has to interact with people from other latin american countries that are not from the southern cone, this was very much expected.
Most latin american people are full of shit towards gay people and they are bad, bad , BAD towards them. It is a culture shock tbh.
I know people from idk colombia, venezuela, ecuador. They use gay as an insult, bully gay people and I have even seen a woman posting evangelic bullshit saying that gay people are satanic!
There is nothing worse than being gay in latin america!

Something i would like to clarify about Argentina: the vast majority of the people in here **WE DONT CARE** (we are not in favour nor against it) because we have many serious problems to be wasting our time over personal choices of each one.
As an heterosexual dude, i dont give a crap about what anyone inserts in his ass or marries as long as you dont disrespect or annoy me. **Wanna marry with a person of the same gender? do it, not my problem and i dont care.**
Only 1st and 2nd world countries have time and not enough problems to care about something as simple.

Generally speaking, the countries lectured the most on progressive issues are the most accepting, and the countries progressives laud the most are the least accepting.

According to Pew Research, the numbers are quite different. Same for Ipsos. Some are similar like Brazil fluctuating around 50%, Mexico just under 60%, while others like Peru have a 15% variation depending on the polling. It also shows that in most countries the net rate for people supporting versus opposing trends towards supporting (it’s not a yes or no question, you can say you don’t know, etc). I don’t know Latinobarómetro to know if they are decent at handling their stuff.

What happened here?…
So basically, the ones with the white people?
According to Pew Research, the percentages of people’s acceptance of homosexuality are actually [much higher](https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/06/25/global-divide-on-homosexuality-persists/). Interesting to see how acceptance of homosexuality does not equal acceptance of same-sex marriage.

At least in Brazil, local polling shows there’s fluctuations up and down depending on the year, usually around 50%, so they appear to be accurate.
