In 25 of the 34 untri surveyed, those who say relign is “somewhat, ” “not too” or “not at all” important their liv are more likely to say that homosexualy should be accepted than those who say relign is “very” important. It is often assumed that this is bee of the persistence of the culture of machismo, but another factor acuntg for tolerance for the right of gay people is the overall low level of tn Lat Ameri and the Caribbean pared to North Ameri. About 45 percent of Brazilians display high levels of tolerance, while Costa Ri, Mexi, Colombia, Chile, Niragua, and Venezuela, those who exprs tolerance towards homosexuals reprent between 30 and 40 percent of the populatn.
This is what we fd most untri nsired here: pennt of their levels of wealth, genr, age, relig preferenc, and place of rince, people wh higher levels of tn are more likely to regnize and accept the polil rights of a mory such as homosexuals.

Regardls of all the trigue, Kirchick also reports that Reagan’s admistratn proved to be “the gayt of any printial admistratn yet”, monstratg two pots central to Secret Cy: the growg acceptance of gays throughout the 20th century and their great value ernment, even a macho, hard-right one like Reagan’s. It is an irony mon to stori of LGBTQ+ rilience that the very thgs that opprsed gay and lbian dividuals – such as the need to lead a double-life, or the isolatn that me om not beg permted to marry – were ma advantageo both to the pursu of their liberatn and their polil reers.
