This week, the Brish Hoe of Lords backed a bill that will allow gay upl to get married both civil and relig ceremoni England and Wal, if two news events occurred jt a few days apart, but they starkly reprent the growg gap views on homosexualy around the world.

Majori many untri Europe, Southeast Asia, Lat Ameri, North Ameri, and Atralia now thk homosexualy should be accepted by society, but much of Central Asia, the Middle East, and Ai still clgs to homophobia, acrdg to a survey of 39 natns released by Pew on are several tertg sights here:1) Views of homosexualy are most posive Europe, pecially Spa (88 percent there say should be accepted by society), Germany (87 percent), and Czech Republic (80 percent).

Same-sex marriage is already legal ne European natns, and France recently legalized as well:The lowt numbers by far were Ai -- only 1 percent of Nigerians felt homosexualy should be accepted. 2) In general, the more relig a untry is, the more likely is to reject homosexualy:Rsia and Cha are the clear outliers: predomantly atheist, yet wh jt a few (16 percent and 21 percent of people, rpectively) who say homosexualy should be accepted by society -- a sign that anti-gay prejudice there is cultural and historil, not there are untri that buck the trend the other directn, as well: Conversely, Brazilians and Filipos are nsirably more tolerant of homosexualy than their untri' relatively high levels of religsy would suggt. 3) Though views on homosexualy haven't changed signifintly sce the last time the surveywas nducted 2007, South Korea saw the largt crease the number of people who thought should be acceptable, jumpg om 18 to 39 percent, or 21 percentage pots, jt six years.

As if Madrid’s extravagant pri event isn’t reason enough to vis, there are also plenty of annual gay parti throughout the year cludg the WE Party Ftival, which hosts multiple parti over a week’s perd Madrid durg New Year's and gay pri. SummaryPolls suggt right-wg parti will w Spa electnConservativ may form aln wh far-rightLGBTQ+ activists fear a roll back of their rightsMADRID, July 17 (Thomson Rters Foundatn) - The rights of gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr people have taken centre stage ahead of Spa's July 23 natnal electn. The term “homosexualy, ” while sometim nsired anachronistic the current era, is the most applible and easily translatable term to e when askg this qutn across societi and languag and has been ed other cross-natnal studi, cludg the World Valu Survey.

Dpe major chang laws and norms surroundg the issue of same-sex marriage and the rights of LGBT people around the world, public opn on the acceptance of homosexualy society remas sharply divid by untry, regn and enomic velopment. For example, Swen, the Netherlands and Germany, all of which have a per-pa gross domtic product over $50, 000, acceptance of homosexualy is among the hight measured across the 34 untri surveyed.

The study is a follow-up to a 2013 report that found many of the same patterns as seen today, although there has been an crease acceptance of homosexualy across many of the untri surveyed both years. However, while took nearly 15 years for acceptance to rise 13 pots om 2000 to jt before the feral legalizatn of gay marriage June 2015, there was a near equal rise acceptance jt the four years sce legalizatn.

This staggerg 56-pot difference exceeds the next largt difference Japan by 20 pots, where 92% and 56% of those ag 18 to 29 and 50 and olr, rpectively, say homosexualy should be accepted by society. In South Korea, for example, those who classify themselv on the iologil left are more than twice as likely to say homosexualy is acceptable than those on the iologil right (a 39-percentage-pot difference). In Spa, people wh a favorable opn of the Vox party, which recently has begun to oppose some gay rights, are much ls likely to say that homosexualy is acceptable than those who do not support the party.

And Poland, supporters of the erng PiS (Law and Jtice), which has explicly targeted gay rights as anathema to tradnal Polish valu, are 23 percentage pots ls likely to say that homosexualy should be accepted by society than those who do not support the erng party. But even untri like France and Germany where acceptance of homosexualy is high, there are differenc between supporters and non-supporters of key right-wg populist parti such as Natnal Rally France and Alternative for Germany (AfD). Relign, both as relat to relative importance people’s liv and actual relig affiliatn, also plays a large role perceptns of the acceptabily of homosexualy many societi across the globe.

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. Among Israelis, those who say relign is not very important their liv are almost three tim more likely than those who say relign is very important to say that society should accept homosexualy. For example, those who are religly unaffiliated, sometim lled relig “non, ” (that is, those who intify as atheist, agnostic or “nothg particular”) tend to be more acceptg of homosexualy.

Though the opns of religly unaffiliated people n vary wily, virtually every untry surveyed wh a sufficient number of unaffiliated rponnts, “non” are more acceptg of homosexualy than the affiliated. As reported by, specifilly, 6 per cent of Spaniards say they are bisexual, 5 per cent intify as gay and the other 1 per cent intify as pansexual, attractn regardls of the sex of the other person, or omnisexual, which is an attractn to all genrs, amountg to 12 per cent of non-heterosexual pared to 11 per cent Germany and the Uned Kgdom and 10 per cent the Netherlands, Belgium and Swen. The var police forc Spa are on the lookout for hate tweets and hate msag on other social media platforms, enuragg the public to report any type of hate crime agast gays, lbians, bisexuals and transgenr people.
