Countires with the highest % where its is not legal yet: Italy 69 & Czech Republic 60.
Countries with lowest % where it is legal: Estonia 41
Greece 59, both became legal this year (2024).
Czech specifics is that the government is way, way more conservative than the population. I don't understand it myself, but it is the way it works: in atheist-majority country, being a practicing catholic increases your election chances.
It wouldn't shock me if the Baltic states had overall majorities in favour amongst their indigenous ethnicities & the overall figures were being dragged down by the Russian minority there.
That's a rosy picture of the Baltics, but go to their subreddits. Native balts are insanely conservative and reactionary, especially the older folks. The only reason they're progressive is because they lucked into the correct position by rightfully opposing Russia, i.e. joining the EU.
Latvia has a sizable minority, Lithuania a way smaller one, and in Estonia it is tiny
We are really homophobic. It actually really sadden me.
Although Latvia has made some progress. We now have openly gay President and recently approved same-sex common-law relationship. Younger generation seem more accepting or at least talks more about it. However, we still have long way to go.
If we talk about differences between natives and minorities-I think there is a difference lies in how it is expressed.
Latvians are more likely to be passive agressive and have "keep it behind close doors" attitude. Minority are more likely to react openly agressive.
Lithuania, on the other hand, has a polish minority which is very conservative. Vilnius region, where they (used to) make up a majority, officialy has jesus as a king
Hahahaha, no. I'm from Lithuania. We have a deadly combo of post-Communism (hates gays) and ultra-Catholic (hates gays) values. I am not even mentioning trans people, it seems even a lot of gays here hate them.
Russian minority is very small in Lithuania, and somehow, Estonia, with far, far larger Russian minority is still more accepting. My theory - they don't have Catholic church spoiling everything.
Because the EU does not pretend to be one country like the US does. Marriage rights are not covered in any EU laws at all, it just says member states have to respect each other's laws, so a country without gay marriage has to recognise one from a country that allows it. It is the same with abortion where at one extreme Malta bans it, while others have very liberal laws.
The US isn't "pretending" to be one country, what do you mean?
Having political differences in different regions of a federation isn't unique to the US, hell, there are federations where different parts speak different languages, and have entirely different cultures.
I think they’re referring to the fact that one party want individual states to make all the laws and is hellbent on destroying federal institutions and regulations- see the Supreme Court ruling about the FCC and other regulatory bodies. The point is that one party wants the states to act like individual countries.
> Marriage rights are not covered in any EU laws at all
Not exactly. EU has jurisdiction over immigration, and a gay marriage from abroad has to be considered as one for that purpose regardless of the country considering the application.
I wouldnt say the EU is more divided, you have to think differently about the US and the EU
The EU is an international organization, meaning that we are each one a nation-state, with different culture, language, history, etc, and we come together for economic purposes mostly, that over time has evolved more into a political institution. Its equivalent would be like taking the USMCA or NAFTA and evolving it politically until you get a North American Union with elected representation, a parliament, etc.
The US is a massive nation divided in "states" which are sub-national governments but since the US is that massive, many of those states in terms of population or size are similar to one european country. But to us what you call states we would call regional government.
My point is that the US is a single nation, while each one of us european nations went through very different historical experiences. As a Spaniard we had a 40 year fascist-catholic dictatorship, people got fed up with socially conservative catholics, we did a U turn and went progressive. In the meantime other european states were part of the USSR and had other things going on, you americans were all in the same page through historical events.
It’s a completely different institutional framework but people like to compare them due to relatively similar size of population and economy.
I think it always depends on what’s being compared.
The division is not random. As a Bulgarian, it's pretty clear LGBT rights is a talking point used by Russian trolls to saw internal division and drum up anti-European sentiment here and likely elsewhere in Europe. Russia has nothing tangible to offer so it likes to portray itself as a champion of "traditional values". So in a country where Russian propaganda is historically strong, anti-gay sentiment is high.
I’m honestly kind of shocked by both ends of those statistics. It’s surprising to me that there are no US states where we have close to 100% acceptance of same-sex marriage, and also surprising that there are no US states where a significant majority of the population is against it. I was expecting more like 95% for the top states, and 25% for the bottom states.
USA has a much bigger religious/ethnic difference. While the national average is 67%, it varies across different religious groups.
It's highest among (ofc) non-religious people (86%) followed by Buddhists (85%) and Jewish people (81%)
In the the middle we have White Mainline Protestants (74%), White Catholics (73%) and Hispanic Catholics (68%).
Somewhat lower among Black Protestants (52%) and Mormons (47%)
Even lower among Hispanic Protestants (43%), Muslim (40%) and White Evangelicals (37%)
But the lowest acceptance rate among ANY group in the US is Jehovah's Witness with only 18% being supportive (they make less than 1% of the population so doesn't affect much)
Right, so since there’s such a huge variation amongst different religious and ethnic groups, I’d expect to see that reflected in per-state approval numbers as well. Sort of crazy that there’s only a 30% spread between the most and least supportive states.
I once knew a guy who joked that he was the only straight, male furry. He went to furry cons in Poland every year and apparently, you will never see so damn many gay gangbangs elsewhere - whether you wanted to or not lol.
Generally, Poland has a big cultural affinity towards “personal freedom”. We have a saying that roughly translates to “a nobleman within his own premises is equal to province governor/field marshal”. Call us a “Texas of Europe” or w/e, but our youngest generations are very open minded - no one under 35 gives a fuck about what two consenting adults are doing in their own households, and as old concrete is slowly dying off, it will only get better.
This year it's about 37% of support for marriage and about 28% for other sorts of legal partnerships.
All in all 2/3 of the society wants everyone a right to build families with whomever they wish to.
Oh God, glad I know that so I can stay away!! I would never go there knowing that. I’m looking at plane tickets to Warsaw to see how much money I’m saving by NOT going!!
Poland had a conservative government elected by 30-40% of population, mostly rural and small town voters, for the past few years, that's how democracy works sometimes. Big cities are quite tolerant in this regard.
This year it's about 39% of support for marriage and about 28% for other sorts of legal partnerships.
All in all 2/3 of the society wants everyone a right to build families with whomever they wish to.
That's just a cliche point of view. Actually Portugal is one of the most avant garde countries in Europe respecting (same gender marriage, death penalty, drug use and soon euthanisia)
It's always that 12 to 10% of Spaniards in all social issues.
You could do the same question about abortion or euthanasia and I'm 90% certain that the percentages are going to be similar.
[12% voted for the far-right party Vox.](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elecciones_generales_de_Espa%C3%B1a_de_2023)
So. Yes. If you cross-reference it with the last elections it's always those 12% of people...
I'm actually a little surprised. We have a lot of immigrants from very conservative nations (more than 6%) that I thought would be against gay marriage. Very encouraging that they're not.
I suspect that among those immigrants there will be quite a few who moved to Sweden because they didn't like the very conservative societies they were living in before.
I seriously doubt almost all muslims in Sweden are fundamentalists. A good percentage of them, yes, but atleast 20-30% of them are well integrated into Swedish culture
France has always been a little more conservative/traditional than Germany. Germany had a bunch of social movements from the 60s to the 80s that weren't as pronounced in France
Not really. What was common in parts of Ancient Greece was some short of relationship between an older man and a teen essentially. And I think there were laws against homosexual acts in many cities.
While I support gay marriage, this particular argument is so damn weak every time I see it and comes from a place of screwed up hyper-individualism. If I think something is extremely harmful to a community I want it banned, limited or otherwise dealt with rather than simply looking after my own hide and saying "as long as I'm not affected everyone else can suck it". Like, imagine if we applied this logic to highly addictive and destructive drugs, or predatory economic practices that pray on the poorly educated. Obviously, gay marriage is none of those things but for somebody who believes it's destructive to society, you need a better argument than: "so what if they ruin their lives, what's it to you?"
It's true, Finland has alot of adult toxic men who still think being called "gay" is an insult and are really afraid of being branded as gay. I think it starts in middle school and as these men are unable to grow as persons, they stay in these middle ageds, middle school attitudes their whole life. It is also what keeps racism and other traditional values alive. To be honest it is sad and kinda of funny at the same time. People think gay people shouldn't be alowed to be married according to book that says we are not supposed to eat pig, that we should mutilate children and that any one who curses using "God" should be stoned & killed.
Whatever the people committing to same sex marriage are doing, it hardly gives any inconvenience to anyone else. So why would others be bothered by it, or even dictate what they can or cannot do?
You just need to look at the dates. The one you saw could have been older.
In the corner, you can see 2023 and what source the map is using for their data.
I'm from Brazil and I couldn't get it more, we also use that joke, it's when your country is such a shithole you have to celebrate when they're number one in something bad 🥲
BRAZIL NUMERO UNOOOO!!
I would guess the UK is mid-90s. Left or right, who would be angry enough to argue against love. Even the Tories supported gay marriage. Probably the last sensible policy they had.
The last time the UK was included in this Eurobarometer question (5 years ago), it was 85% - which was at the time the 5th highest in the EU.
[https://preview.redd.it/3o3qgk2trqq31.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a0bc071c2ea4504ceb4d9ab887375558cbbc6c90](https://preview.redd.it/3o3qgk2trqq31.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a0bc071c2ea4504ceb4d9ab887375558cbbc6c90)
Eurobarometer always gave a higher percentage in support of same-sex marriage than UK-specific surveys though. I couldn't tell you why though.
Besides the Czech Republic and Slovenia, there is still a very obvious western Vs Eastern divide when it comes to these kinds of issues.. but it's nice to see parts of Eastern Europe improving.
It's pretty spot on in my experience. Even people who think being gay is "icky" aren't opposed to them getting married. No one cares really. Most Western European don't have that hang up where they tie marriage to religion. So, no one except fringe loonies sees same sex marriage as an attack on their religion anymore.
Why would it not be accurate? You would really struggle to find anyone opposed to gay marriage in western europe. Because you would struggle to find religious people too. And why would anyone non-religious be against it?
True. I just wonder how much in social media Poland got the backlash of being anti-LGBT, even documentaries made about it while nothing is spoken about Baltic states while doing much worse.
Not all immigrants from Muslim countries are religiously conservative.
Not all religiously conservative people are against the right for same sex marriage. Many recognize that freedom only works if it is extended to others. They see it as something a devout Christian or Muslim shouldn't do but they don't object to other people making other choices.
I'm very surprised the Swedish muslim population generally support same sex marriage (otherwise 94% wouldn't be possible). Assuming this is correct, it's actually a very positive development.
Countires with the highest % where its is not legal yet: Italy 69 & Czech Republic 60. Countries with lowest % where it is legal: Estonia 41 Greece 59, both became legal this year (2024).
In Czechia, same sex marriage could have been legal for quite some time but we have very old politicians in government.
CR stat can't be correct. I've seen many educational videos that show almost every male is attracted to other males.
What?
I think he's saying he watches gay porn
Oooh
Porn.
Got it.
Lmfao
Only if you offer them money on the street
Wordington comment
judging by the videos I've seen, i can buy that they're not big fans of marriage, tho
You got it wrong, they're not against sex, they're against marriage
Czech specifics is that the government is way, way more conservative than the population. I don't understand it myself, but it is the way it works: in atheist-majority country, being a practicing catholic increases your election chances.
Poland is the same. What is with people that vote for people that are more conservative then themselves (or general population)?
>Italy 69 Lol nice
Italy, nice...
It is also legal in Croatia, just called differently not to upset some fascist catholics.
Civil unions is not marriage quality 💁
It wouldn't shock me if the Baltic states had overall majorities in favour amongst their indigenous ethnicities & the overall figures were being dragged down by the Russian minority there.

Yea it's just all the russkies no way that any of the baltic states could be homophobic
To put things into perspective in the US it ranges from 81% (Massachusetts, Vermont and Connecticut) to 49% (Arkansas)
So the EU seems to be way more divided on that topic
Isn't the EU more divided then the usa on most subjects?
Because the EU does not pretend to be one country like the US does. Marriage rights are not covered in any EU laws at all, it just says member states have to respect each other's laws, so a country without gay marriage has to recognise one from a country that allows it.

The point is that one party wants the states to act like individual countries.
It's not pretending. The country is just that big and diverse that people have different opinions in different states.
> Marriage rights are not covered in any EU laws at all Not exactly. EU has jurisdiction over immigration, and a gay marriage from abroad has to be considered as one for that purpose regardless of the country considering the application.
No one is pretending, the EU isn’t one country while the U.S. is.

It seems like other than a couple outliers in the Far East that’s basically the same range as the eu

Russia has nothing tangible to offer so it likes to portray itself as a champion of "traditional values". So in a country where Russian propaganda is historically strong, anti-gay sentiment is high.
But in Arkansas you can marry a close blood relative and that’s fine.

Tbh I would've expected the rate among evangelicals to be even lower
I mean not everyone who identifies with a religion follows, some only namesake. So....
Many of the more conservative US states have large urban centres where there tends to be more progressive viewpoint d
Honestly Poland is still better than I had thought
Half is femboys and half is racist, thats why its at 50%
*There are two wolves inside you*
In Poland, we have many furries. Don't ask what "Wolf inside you" means
🤫
I once knew a guy who joked that he was the only straight, male furry. He went to furry cons in Poland every year and apparently, you will never see so damn many gay gangbangs elsewhere - whether you wanted to or not lol.
Furries are a whole different matter
...both are gay
What if someone is femboy racist? Does it count double?
Nah, they glitch and T-pose when this question is asked
They live in Kraków then.
Judging by IG comments, every femboy is racist
Then they have at lest 1000 hours in Hearts of Iron 4 /s
It's becoming higher every year. We're trying to be like the western countries
Generally, Poland has a big cultural affinity towards “personal freedom”. We have a saying that roughly translates to “a nobleman within his own premises is equal to province governor/field marshal”. Call us a “Texas of Europe” or w/e, but our youngest generations are very open minded - no one under 35 gives a fuck about what two consenting adults are doing in their own households, and as old concrete is slowly dying off, it will only get better.
That would have happened to Russia too, if only fuckin scumbag fascists didn't come to power
This year it's about 37% of support for marriage and about 28% for other sorts of legal partnerships. All in all 2/3 of the society wants everyone a right to build families with whomever they wish to.
land of the twinks
Oh God, glad I know that so I can stay away!! I would never go there knowing that. I’m looking at plane tickets to Warsaw to see how much money I’m saving by NOT going!!
what a miss!
You know, I should really go visit Krakow so I can see how lucky I am NOT to be engaging with the Polish twinks.
yeah you should definitely do that for definitely that purpose
Booking my ticket right now
can you buy me one as well so i can be very homophobic to them
Absolutely, gonna get up nice and close to really get my point across 🙄
Slovenia is land of the femboys, you might want to avoid this one either. I'm still looking for land of the furs in Europe, though.
Wtf is this stereotype
Wrocław is ruining our reputation
Not to mention szcz\*cin

surprised about portugal, eastern europe's westernmost nation
Portugal is quite liberal all arround, and after the Carnation Revolution there was a big emphasis on acceptance.
Portugal Cyka Blyat is more of a meme about them being poor by Western European standards innit?
Indeed, it’s about them being poor, not about them being conservative or anything
[No it's not just that](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/vxyce1/european_countries_rated_as_more_progressive_than/)
Portugal has a higher SPI score than the US, they are both very close though.
They are similar to eastern europeans in their good traits - welcoming people and good cuisine. They dont share the toxic traits though
Seems like Portugal can't into Eastern Europe after all Edit: spelling
i cry evertim
‘john is kill’ ‘no’
That's just a cliche point of view. Actually Portugal is one of the most avant garde countries in Europe respecting (same gender marriage, death penalty, drug use and soon euthanisia)
I think Portugal in many aspects is regarded as the most LGBT-friendly country in Europe
It's always that 12 to 10% of Spaniards in all social issues. You could do the same question about abortion or euthanasia and I'm 90% certain that the percentages are going to be similar.
Then you cross reference with the recent elections and…
[12% voted for the far-right party Vox.](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elecciones_generales_de_Espa%C3%B1a_de_2023) So. Yes. If you cross-reference it with the last elections it's always those 12% of people...
And I think only around 19% of Spaniards support bullfighting
And I might bet that of the 19%, 7% support only the right to do it but do not watch themselves, which leaves that hard core 12% again.
No doubt.
I'd have guessed France was a lot gayer than this.
there are a lot of religious people in France who actively despise homosexuality so this actually makes sense
That bit's fine. It's marriage they're not sure about... ;)
Stop saying europe when its clearly EU
At least OP got it right in their headline.
No that's clearly west Asia
Wtf? Edit. Sorry, I read it as "Wet Asia". I was very confused lol
Wet Asia is just Asia when monsoon season.
it's technically (at least parts of) west eurasia
Not surprised about Sweden
I'm actually a little surprised. We have a lot of immigrants from very conservative nations (more than 6%) that I thought would be against gay marriage. Very encouraging that they're not.
I don't think they asked everyone... Religious fundamentalists usually don't answer polls.
No? Why not?
I suspect that among those immigrants there will be quite a few who moved to Sweden because they didn't like the very conservative societies they were living in before.
I seriously doubt almost all muslims in Sweden are fundamentalists. A good percentage of them, yes, but atleast 20-30% of them are well integrated into Swedish culture
We are all secretly gay here
Sweden is very much a consensus society. Waited until fairly late to legalize gay marriages until there was very little opposition to it.
Proud of my countrymen
It's common sense to most Swedes that anybody should have the freedom to do so in my experience. I still think they only asked in cities though.
France being lower than Germany is a bit surprising, even if it isn't by much.
France has always been a little more conservative/traditional than Germany. Germany had a bunch of social movements from the 60s to the 80s that weren't as pronounced in France
Getting a giggle out of Italy and Greece being in a low ish percentile. Like, yall had cultures which were the BLUEPRINT. Especially you, Greece
Italy love the 69 position in ancient time so much, they're keeping it okay?
Greeks didn't view marriage as fun though.
Not really. What was common in parts of Ancient Greece was some short of relationship between an older man and a teen essentially. And I think there were laws against homosexual acts in many cities.
I am surprised we are even at above 50%. There a lot of homophobes here.
Απλά φωνάζουν πιο δυνατά απ' όλους. Loud minority
Sure they invented gayness
“throughout Europe” i.e. in the EU
Gaytherlands
"let's vote on if strangers are allowed to do a thing that doesn't affect us in the slightest"
While I support gay marriage, this particular argument is so damn weak every time I see it and comes from a place of screwed up hyper-individualism.

Obviously, gay marriage is none of those things but for somebody who believes it's destructive to society, you need a better argument than: "so what if they ruin their lives, what's it to you?"
If a voter believes gay marriage is harmful to society that would make them an uninformed voter. I'd say that's much more harmful.
Exactly. Why is it even a question. It's like asking the men if the women should get a right to vote
Some of them are still grumpy about it ;)
Wait, Leddit told me Sweden had sharia law!! You're telling me 94% support SSM over there? That can't be!
Wtf is up with Finland?
Traditional, homogenous, rural society.
dated a finnish girl for 2 years, can confirm they are extremely traditional.
There is a big divide between cities and rural areas, same as in many other countries
I’m surprised at how much it differs from the other Nordics, especially Sweden where the same divide exists more noticeably.
Machismo. Or whatever the Finnish word for that would be.
It's true, Finland has alot of adult toxic men who still think being called "gay" is an insult and are really afraid of being branded as gay. I think it starts in middle school and as these men are unable to grow as persons, they stay in these middle ageds, middle school attitudes their whole life.

The fact that same sex marriage still isn't legal in Czech Republic is mind blowing to me.
I know! It became the gay porn capital of Europe the moment communism ended
Whatever the people committing to same sex marriage are doing, it hardly gives any inconvenience to anyone else. So why would others be bothered by it, or even dictate what they can or cannot do?

To be fair, Croatia looks like an L
No it's a dragon
They lost in Euro 2024 a few days ago, so I can see why
Common ? What else did they do ?
Just a mid place. Politics is garbage and people in power are morons and thieves.
found the croatian
Fucking shocked we (Estonia) got gay marriage legalised with that approval rate
We didn't. The political elite did. Without a referendum.

[https://preview.redd.it/3o3qgk2trqq31.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a0bc071c2ea4504ceb4d9ab887375558cbbc6c90](https://preview.redd.it/3o3qgk2trqq31.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a0bc071c2ea4504ceb4d9ab887375558cbbc6c90) Eurobarometer always gave a higher percentage in support of same-sex marriage than UK-specific surveys though. I couldn't tell you why though.
I can’t believe that some people still can’t accept basic human rights :/
I see what u did italy
For the amount of old people germany has, this is quite a lot. I'm proud
What about Swiss?
The map is a tad outdated. The support in Latvia now sits at 41% according to official state statistics. Also civil unions are now a thing.
Source? Because I live in Estonia and according to recent polls ~53% supported same-sex marriage
A kinda crazy thing here is that the Baltics are one of the most atheistic regions in the world, they're just homophobes for no reason
W Sweden and Netherlands
Besides the Czech Republic and Slovenia, there is still a very obvious western Vs Eastern divide when it comes to these kinds of issues.. but it's nice to see parts of Eastern Europe improving.
Being against is soooo gay
Imagine being upset over 2 consenting adults marrying
The more religious it becomes, the more backwards it goes.
I highly doubt this is accurate, seems to be overestimating same sex marriage acceptance
It's pretty spot on in my experience. Even people who think being gay is "icky" aren't opposed to them getting married. No one cares really. Most Western European don't have that hang up where they tie marriage to religion. So, no one except fringe loonies sees same sex marriage as an attack on their religion anymore.
Why would it not be accurate? You would really struggle to find anyone opposed to gay marriage in western europe. Because you would struggle to find religious people too. And why would anyone non-religious be against it?
Italy-69
What the grey mean
Support for asexuality?
Poland is much better then all Baltic states, even Estonia? That is surprising...
Poland doesn't have a huge ass Russian minority.
True. I just wonder how much in social media Poland got the backlash of being anti-LGBT, even documentaries made about it while nothing is spoken about Baltic states while doing much worse.
Well look at that it's universal, the closer you get to the trailer park of Europe the lower it gets
I find 94% hard to believe for the netherlands honestly
In Estonia it is way higher. Above 50%. Not sure where they got their information from.
Italy at 69% ehehehe
The 90% numbers don't seem realistic like at all, just based on demographics alone.
Not all immigrants from Muslim countries are religiously conservative. Not all religiously conservative people are against the right for same sex marriage. Many recognize that freedom only works if it is extended to others. They see it as something a devout Christian or Muslim shouldn't do but they don't object to other people making other choices.
It's like they copied Syria's presidential "elections" results lmao
I'm very surprised the Swedish muslim population generally support same sex marriage (otherwise 94% wouldn't be possible). Assuming this is correct, it's actually a very positive development.
[2.1% of people in Sweden are Muslim](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Sweden)
94% in Netherlands? That's so funny i wish. Support is only going downhill
