The full question wording was, \u201cAnd which one of these comes closer to your opinion? Homosexuality should be accepted by society OR Homosexuality should not be accepted by society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is a long-term trend, first asked in the U.S. by the Pew Research Center in 1994 and globally in 2002. Respondents had an option to not answer the question (they could volunteer \u201cdon\u2019t know\u201d or refuse to answer the question). Respondents did not get any further instructions on how to interpret the question and no significant problems were noted during the fielding of the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term \u201chomosexuality,\u201d while sometimes considered anachronistic in the current era, is the most applicable and easily translatable term to use when asking this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucpress.edu\/book.php?isbn=9780520288768\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">question across societies<\/a> and languages and has been used in other cross-national studies, including the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldvaluessurvey.org\/WVSOnline.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World Values Survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this report, we used data from a survey conducted across 34 countries from May 13 to Oct. 2, 2019, totaling 38,426 respondents. The surveys were conducted face to face across Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, and on the phone in United States and Canada. In the Asia-Pacific region, face-to-face surveys were conducted in India, Indonesia and the Philippines, while phone surveys were administered in Australia, Japan and South Korea. Across Europe, the survey was conducted over the phone in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK, but face to face in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_TOPLINE.pdf\">questions&nbsp;<\/a>used for the report, along with responses, and the survey&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/methods\/interactives\/international-methodology\/all-survey\/all-country\/2019\/\">methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite major changes in laws and norms surrounding the issue of <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2019\/10\/29\/global-snapshot-same-sex-marriage\/\">same-sex marriage<\/a> and the rights of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/06\/23\/world\/global-lgbtq-rights.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LGBT people around the world<\/a>, public opinion on the acceptance of homosexuality in society remains sharply divided by country, region and economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2020\/06\/25\/global-divide-on-homosexuality-persists\/pg_2020-06-25_global-views-homosexuality_0-01-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e6e7df\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e6e7df;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" height=\"632\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?w=1024\" alt=\"The global divide on acceptance of homosexuality\" class=\"wp-image-36145 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png 1280w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=300,296 300w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=768,758 768w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=1024,1011 1024w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=410,405 410w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=200,198 200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=260,257 260w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=310,306 310w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=420,415 420w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=640,632 640w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=740,731 740w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=75,75 75w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=160,158 160w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-01.png?resize=320,316 320w\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it was <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2013\/06\/04\/the-global-divide-on-homosexuality\/\">in 2013<\/a>, when the question was last asked, attitudes on the acceptance of homosexuality are shaped by the country in which people live. Those in Western Europe and the Americas are generally more accepting of homosexuality than are those in Eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. And publics in the Asia-Pacific region generally are split. This is a function not only of economic development of nations, but also religious and political attitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But even with these sharp divides, views are changing in many of the countries that have been surveyed since 2002, when Pew Research Center first began asking this question. In many nations, there has been an increasing acceptance of homosexuality, including in the United States, where 72% say it should be accepted, compared with just 49% as recently as 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2020\/06\/25\/global-divide-on-homosexuality-persists\/pg_2020-06-25_global-views-homosexuality_0-02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eeeee9\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eeeee9;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" height=\"429\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Rising acceptance of homosexuality by people in many countries around the world over the past two decades\" class=\"wp-image-36150 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png 1280w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=768,515 768w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=1024,686 1024w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=604,405 604w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=200,133 200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=260,174 260w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=310,208 310w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=420,282 420w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=640,429 640w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=740,496 740w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=160,107 160w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_0-02.png?resize=320,215 320w\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the countries surveyed in 2002 and 2019 have seen a double-digit increase in acceptance of homosexuality. This includes a 21-point increase since 2002 in South Africa and a 19-point increase in South Korea over the same time period. India also saw a 22-point increase since 2014, the first time the question was asked of a nationally representative sample there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There also have been fairly large shifts in acceptance of homosexuality over the past 17 years in two very different places: Mexico and Japan. In both countries, just over half said they accepted homosexuality in 2002, but now closer to seven-in-ten say this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Kenya, only 1 in 100 said homosexuality should be accepted in 2002, compared with 14% who say this now. (For more on acceptance of homosexuality over time among all the countries surveyed, see <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2020\/06\/25\/global-views-homosexuality-2019-appendix-a\/\">Appendix A<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many of the countries surveyed, there also are differences on acceptance of homosexuality by age, education, income and, in some instances, gender \u2013 and in several cases, these differences are substantial. In addition, religion and its importance in people\u2019s lives shape opinions in many countries. For example, in some countries, those who are affiliated with a religious group tend to be <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2020\/09\/28\/religiously-unaffiliated-people-more-likely-than-those-with-a-religion-to-lean-left-accept-homosexuality\/\">less accepting of homosexuality than those who are unaffiliated<\/a> (a group sometimes referred to as religious \u201cnones\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political ideology also plays a role in acceptance of homosexuality. In many countries, those on the political right are less accepting of homosexuality than those on the left. And supporters of several right-wing populist parties in Europe are also less likely to see homosexuality as acceptable. (For more on how the survey defines populist parties in Europe, see <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2020\/06\/25\/global-views-homosexuality-2019-appendix-b-classifying-european-political-parties\/\">Appendix B<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attitudes on this issue are strongly correlated with a country\u2019s wealth.

The lower education category is below secondary education and the higher category is secondary or above in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Africa, Tunisia and Ukraine. In all other countries, the lower education category is secondary education or less education and the higher category is postsecondary or more education.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, in Greece, 72% of those with a postsecondary education or more say homosexuality is acceptable, compared with 42% of those with a secondary education or less who say this. Significant differences of this nature are found in both countries with generally high levels of acceptance (such as Italy) and low levels (like Ukraine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a similar number of countries, those who earn more money than the country\u2019s national median income also are more likely to say they accept homosexuality in society than those who earn less.

Among Israelis, those who say religion is not very important in their lives are almost three times more likely than those who say religion is very important to say that society should accept homosexuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Significant differences of this nature appear across a broad spectrum of both highly religious and less religious countries, including Czech Republic (38-percentage-point difference), South Korea (38), Canada (33), the U.S. (29), Slovakia (29), Greece (28) and Turkey (26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Religious affiliation also plays a key role in views towards acceptance of homosexuality. For example, those who are religiously unaffiliated, sometimes called religious \u201cnones,\u201d (that is, those who identify as atheist, agnostic or \u201cnothing in particular\u201d) tend to be more accepting of homosexuality. Though the opinions of religiously unaffiliated people can <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2018\/08\/08\/why-americas-nones-dont-identify-with-a-religion\/\">vary widely<\/a>, in virtually every country surveyed with a sufficient number of unaffiliated respondents, \u201cnones\u201d are more accepting of homosexuality than the affiliated. In most cases, the affiliated comparison group is made up of Christians. But even among Christians, Catholics are more likely to accept homosexuality than Protestants and evangelicals in many countries with enough adherents for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One example of this pattern can be found in South Korea. Koreans who are religiously unaffiliated are about twice as likely to say that homosexuality should be accepted by society (60%) as those who are Christian (24%) or Buddhist (31%). Similarly, in Hungary, 62% of \u201cnones\u201d say society should accept homosexuality, compared with only 48% of Catholics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the few countries surveyed with Muslim populations large enough for analysis, acceptance of homosexuality is particularly low among adherents of Islam. But in Nigeria, for example, acceptance of homosexuality is low among Christians and Muslims alike (6% and 8%, respectively). Jews in Israel are much more likely to say that homosexuality is acceptable than Israeli Muslims (53% and 17%, respectively).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite major changes in laws and norms surrounding the issue of same-sex marriage and the rights of LGBT people around the world, public opinion on the acceptance of homosexuality in society remains sharply divided by country, region and economic development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":578,"featured_media":141481,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","sub_headline":"But increasing acceptance in many countries over past two decades","sub_title":"","_prc_public_revisions":[],"_ppp_expiration_hours":0,"_ppp_enabled":false,"ai_generated_summary":"","bylines":[{"key":"862edc4e-04c0-4b3d-aaa3-128a8b73ce60","termId":624},{"key":"b477af6a-e89e-48b7-8960-f7ab2280d65f","termId":734}],"acknowledgements":[],"displayBylines":true,"relatedPosts":[],"reportMaterials":[{"key":"2d410eeb-0532-4bd2-a3f3-5579126eb157","type":"report","url":"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_FINAL.pdf"},{"key":"53b705fb-6ac7-4786-bb85-8072900cedb4","type":"topline","url":"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/06\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_TOPLINE.pdf"}],"multiSectionReport":[{"key":"_migrate_0","postId":28437},{"key":"_migrate_1","postId":28407},{"key":"_migrate_2","postId":28417},{"key":"_migrate_3","postId":28400}],"package_parts__enabled":false,"package_parts":[],"_prc_fork_parent":0,"_prc_fork_status":"","_prc_active_fork":0,"datacite_doi":"","datacite_doi_citation":"","_prc_seo_qr_attachment_id":0,"spoken_article_player_enabled":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[108,167,226,220],"tags":[],"bylines":[624,734],"collection":[],"datasets":[1016],"level_of_effort":[],"primary_audience":[],"information_type":[],"_post_visibility":[],"formats":[458],"_fund_pool":[],"languages":[],"regions-countries":[],"research-teams":[525],"class_list":["post-28425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lgbtq-acceptance","category-religion-lgbtq-acceptance","category-same-sex-marriage-2","category-same-sex-marriage-1","bylines-jacob-poushter","bylines-nicholas-kent","datasets-spring-2019-survey-data","formats-report","research-teams-global"],"label":false,"post_parent":0,"word_count":2236,"canonical_url":"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2020\/06\/25\/global-divide-on-homosexuality-persists\/","art_direction":{"A1":{"id":141481,"rawUrl":"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/04\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_featured.jpg","url":"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/04\/PG_2020.06.25_Global-Views-Homosexuality_featured.jpg?w=564&h=317&crop=1","width":564,"height":317,"caption":"A member of the LGBT community takes part in a 2019 pride walk in India.
