Lesbians are more accepted than gay men around the world, new study finds - NBCOUT
"Even though there were some non-Western countries that did not conform to the pattern, the majority of countries did," she said in a statement.
Indeed, in countries including China and India, the survey found that strong gender norms are actually associated with greater tolerance of homosexuality — that is, people with the strongest beliefs in how men and women should behave were more likely to tolerate homosexuality, the opposite of the West, including the Americas and Western Europe.
The report speculates that in some Eastern countries, “both gender norms and nonheterosexuality are considered ‘Western’ concepts, and those who are pro-Western are more likely to feel favorable toward both.”The study’s findings also suggest that “men are more likely to be both the targets and perpetrators of sexual prejudice.”
In all 23 countries studied, the report found"gay men are rated more negatively than lesbian women,” and that trend was almost entirely driven by the views of men, except in Poland, Hungary and Russia, where women also assigned gay men high negative ratings. In the United States, men who are anti-gays largely direct their prejudice toward gay men, while women who are anti-gays direct their prejudice more equally toward gay men and gay women, the study found.
