Why only this small subset of countries?
Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Uganda?
Edit: just opened the world map. All those countries are near 100% anti-gay neighbors. Lol.
So the real headline is “Global west is okay with homosexuality. Everyone else still hates us”.
Its also a generational thing and parents realising its also their kids and their friends who can be openly homosexual.
Humans are always afraid of the unknown, and everyone being more open helps.
Good. People who love each other, should be able to spend time together.
Hmm, I wonder if that value for the UK ~2005 is just a statistical artefact, or if something culturally happened to temporarily create more homophobia in the late 90s/early2000s.
(Same but less pronounced US ~2010, but that looks more definitely like an artefact to me)
