          Yeah, to be honest in my online travels these last couple of years, I’ve even seen prejudiced talk regarding sexual attraction coming from people under the non-binary umbrella. Something that I thought I understood early on is that gender identity and sexual attraction are not the same thing and it can be disheartening and doubt inspiring when people in the circles that you are learning from link the two together.

    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.

    Nice to see the overall trajectory, but still just a bit sad to consider that the US is barely in a better place today than Sweden was 20 years ago.

    And even then, I’m not entirely convinced the number of bigots hasn’t started rising back up in the US given that the data stops at 2022 and the anti-LGBT rhetoric has been dramatically increasing lately.

      I think it’s just the anti-LGBT rhetoric is loud (quite literately) but they’re not necessarily they’re large.

      The amount of strings the GOP has to pull just to get any election in their favor should tell ya’ everything.

    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”.

      In China being gay and having gay relationships has been legal since 1997. They also have their own version of "gay marriage’. Sadly adoption is not allowed.

      Trans people are only recognised post op.

      It’s not fantastic but it has improved a lot.

    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)
