It appears most untri wh strong anti-LGBT laws are untri wh a domant Mlim or Christian populatn (red shas on this map om Wikipedia), although attus wh relign-domated untri differ signifintly (primarily tholic Spa has legalised gay marriage and 82% believ LGBT should be accepted, but majory Hdu India this figure is only 10%). Some of the morn arguments socialist dictatorships were based on the fact that homosexualy is "wtern/palist viancy" (which is big news to all the Marxist/Gramscian leftist LGBT rights activists Wtern untri).

Aga, this se the special LGBT dislike is more about (te or false, don't matter) perceived tenncy by LGBT crowd - at least the Wt - to flnt their sexualy more than straights, and not to the homosexualy self. The ma ia behd this is that homosexualy is the most wispread among the segments of the populatn which the stcts are the ls proment (such people are lled "low-primative" followg Protopopov and Novoselov).

One secular argument agast ernment regnn of gay marriage is that the reason ernments regnize marriage and provi benefs to married upl is to enurage the creatn of stable environments for procreatn which paterny n be assumed and th the raisg of children will be done by two parents (one of each sex which studi show is better for children than two parents of the same sex) both of whom have a strong tert good parentg due to blogy.
