Positively surprised about Italy here, for a catholic country, that is a large amount of people in favour of same sex marriage.
Lol at hungary.
It’s actually really awesome to see some countries having opposition to same sex marriage be in single digits.
I thought Hungary would be more progressive, but I am only acquainted with Budapest and its surroundings, so I must have a skewed perception of the matter.
As I have said before, Italy is not majority homophobic, it is majority apathetic.
They support equality but they don’t care enough about it to prevent them from voting Meloni, Salvini and Forza Italia.
Which ends in a result just as bad in a political level.
Pleasantly surprised about India.
Hopefully Western Europe doesn’t backslide on this due to changing value-sets of its inhabitants. Sadly, I could see USA surpassing them in this favourability ranking in my lifetime.
Interesting that Greece is quite opposed.
I find this quite amusing. How come South Africa with 38% support have same sex marriage and Japan and Italy both having 74 do not?
We should do this poll separated by religion in Western Europe
I am not really surprised by these numbers, except for Brazil oddly enough. Having interfaced a bit with the LGBT over there it may have tainted my expectations a bit.
Interesting, and same sex marriage is still illegal in Japan despite overwheilming support. Why ?
Same question for Italy actually.

Not even the gay folks in Nigeria seem to want it. /s
I’m really curious about China.
Surprized by Kenya, since it’s not an islamic majority like Indonesia/Nigeria.
It’s interesting – while many people see religion as the blocker, these figures suggest that it is not religion per se (excepting Islam), but populist regimes that weaponise religion.
And I mention Islam, but actually would be interesting to see a comparison of the views of Muslims and non-Muslims in 2nd and 3rd world countries to see if it’s the religion, or the education/economic level that is to blame.
I’m surprised about Sweden, you know, considering..
The numbers for Israel seem off, I read hebrew articles introducing polls that show that a majority of Israelis support same sex marriage.
Finally a statistic I can be proud of 🇸🇪
Hungary and Poland are like an elderly same sex couple, dressed in pink leather and a feathered hat, to coward to show, to ashamed to admit, but they walk as one, hand in hand, into the shores of never-ending ignorance and darkness ….
Poland is my family’s homeland. Extremely disappointed that it seems attitudes are getting increasingly worse there, as I’m queer and would like at least a chance to go to the town my grandma’s family was ran out of by the Nazis. Sad.
Not sure about Sweden tbh. I feel like people are more unlikely to declare as “totally against”, but my impression is that there is quite some homophobia, in a “closeted” sense. They won’t tell it, but will make you feel it.
Positively surprised by Italy though, I thought the attitude was more openly against.
I don’t know where you got the Israeli data from but it’s weird, according to this (very far right 71% support, which seems about right
Whats unique about Sweden is that (almost certainly) the opposers are all people who don’t have Swedish heritage, no traces of hatred left in the culture.
Also applies to some of the other european countries of course, just interesting how far ahead Swedes are in that regard.
What I’m seeing here is that white people are the LEAST homophobic race.
