Chart comparing homophobic attitudes by country between 1993 and 2024.

Turkey is no surprise. Very homophobic . I remember this quote from the film, Midnight Express about the country's blatant hypocrisies:

Billy Hayes: To the Turks, everything is "shurla burla", which means "like this, like that". You never know what will happen. All foreigners are "ayip", they're considered dirty. So is homosexuality, it's a big crime here, but most of them do it every chance they get.

The US is at 28% compared to 66% in '93.

The Netherlands STARTED at 21 and then dropped to 6. I love the Dutch!!

Germany went from 49% to 15% once the old Nazis all died off.

Germany still hasn't got any less antisemitic though. I was friends with three German nationals born in the 1950s through 1970s and they still have blatantly negative takes on all Jews, although they can compartmentalize and be fans of Jewish musicians or artists, the same way racists can hate blacks but be fans of certain athletes/sports celebrities. Has that gotten better with subsequent generations? Perhaps.
