I think brazil changed a lot, even in my small town , people are much more accepting.
Depende, na vdd, onde vivo ainda é meio merda
That’s not good
@@pablouribe2972get a life
The Brazilian girl knows nothing. I am gay myself, Brazilian, and I have never been affected by it. I am 39 years old. 20 years ago it was different! Maybe if you are 80 years old, you might have some prejudice still. Otherwise, you will be more than fine.
@@abnerf2884 it depends on which region you live. Im from the south which is the most gay friendly region, but people from north or northeast must go through some bad issues
I'm brazilian and I know France. In LGBTQ+ rights Brazil has more than France but I think that the public opinion french people are less homophobic than brazilians. In big cities it's more acceptable but not too much in the countryside but the situation is getting better. I think Brazil is more friendly than Mexico
Brazil and Mexico are both very similar regarding attitudes towards LGBT, as told by travelers who compared both, and many LGBT reviews and journalism in both countries
Puerto Vallarta is the heaven for gays of all the world.
Mexico and France are ok to be gay, Brazil I think like be both gay and homophobic, idk about Ukraine but Ukraine and Russia have the same religion, I have to disagree with Turkey and Nigeria because their countries aren’t allowed to be gay because they are muslims(you can tell the lgbtq Nigerian had a hijab on)
I cannot tell you how important it is to see gay Nigerians! 🇳🇬🏳️🌈💕✨
I’m a gay 15 year old Nigerian
i'm sorry & wish you luck@@cupidsnow3885
You are very useless
One of my cousins is gay , a member of my family and all of us are respectful towards him , but the problem is not everyone will respect that and he said that many times he heard bad comments about him 😕
Throw him out of ur family
According to the Spartacus Gay Travel Index 2021 they are in the right order. The countries there are ranked as:
France 22
Mexico and Brazil 40
Ukraine 107
Turkey 117
Nigeria 190
Based Nigeria!!
@@zorororonoa3626 Why do you think that?
@@zorororonoa3626 I don't get people who have names or pfps from series and then say something that completely goes against it's message. One Piece is a gay ass series all about freedom and living your life how you want. What do you even enjoy about it bro?
@@zorororonoa3626 Nigeria is a shithole, and usually lack of progressive values go together with being a shithole. Chances are that if a place criminalizes same sex relationships its also the kind of place where half the population doesn't have clean drinking water. Social development is in diapers, as it is their economy, their infrastructure, health system, education... also this correlates a lot with ultra religious countries. So if being based means living in the kind of country where 15% of the population has aids and the median life expectancy is 60 years old, be my guess
Hey my guess was correct!
I think the Turkish person is from central Anatolia, where people are more conservative, because we surely are not religious in the west, north, and some parts of the south. Turkey is actually one of the least religious Muslim-majority countries in the world. Our state is secular, and this is something that is protected by law. You won't face any legal issues being lgbtq+ here, especially since the new generation and some millennials are accepting. I've never had an odd reaction from someone under 40 about being gay.
Trabzon and Rize are also from the north of Türkiye, and religious people are in the majority in these cities. Do not lie.
@@user-jg9vy3ux5b I am not lying, they drink alcohol like it's water in the said cities and just "claim" to be religious. Being conservative doesn't mean you're religious, as you can be traditional even if you are an atheist. The people of Trabzon and Rize are just nationalists, not religion-crazy people.
as a brazilian I can say that Alice is absolutely right, you guys need to remember that brazil is a huuuuuge country and even though things have changed a lot in the last few years we are faaaaaar from being reeally accepted, it is certainly more peaceful and acceptable in bigger cities , but whoever thinks that we are in better ways of than any other countries of latin america is wrong...
Even in Ecuador that is a small country, there's a huge difference between being in urban versus rural areas, and also differences between the coast and lowlands, the highlands (Andes mountains), the amazon forest and the Galapagos islands (last two are not very populated though). Mindsets of people are so different. Highland people in Ecuador tend to care less about what their neighbours do, unless it's something disturbing them directly. They can hate something, but they're too scared to confront. I live in the middle-class part of Quito city (the capital, located in the highlands) and I just went yesterday to a party with people from 20 to 40 years old, pretty much everybody was bisexual, it was not intended to be a LGBTQ+ party, and nobody cared about anything, lots of kisses, y'know! This might change in the poorer parts of the city, but the cleaning staff at my job live in those neighbourhoods, they know I'm LGBTQ+, we love each other and they tolerate me well, because they see the person in me and not a sexual orientation. Guayaquil city is in the coast of Ecuador, it is as big as Quito city, but I would fear so much to hold hands in public in most of the city. People are so direct and don't fear conflict, so many people can jeer at us in public. There's a huge amount of extremist christians over there as well. Galapagos citizens are so used to foreigners, I think they're more chilled. I'm part of the privileged LGBTQ+ in my country, and sadly I do see from time to time violent acts in the media and Twitter. That's my contribution, thanks Marina, greetings from Ecuador!
agreed, my mom grew up in Rondonia and her and her family are definitely NOT accepting of LGBTQ people and hold a lot of conservative views
THANK YOU for finally responding to our requests. ❤️
It's so sad that a bunch of strangers (I mean, the rest of the world) suddenly decide they have the right to dictate to you how to live your life, :(
My heart goes out to all of these young people in the video, they are so natural at being themselves, I wish them the best of luck!!! xoxo
dont go for kids then
I lived in Sydney Australia for 4 years, and their gay and lesbian Mardi gras parade is televised nationally (annually throughout the entire country since the 1980's). No one complains about it, in fact they look forward to it
The first country in the world 🌎 to legalise marriage people who are the same sex was Netherlands 🇳🇱 2001
True. And that's how this immature joke of going to Amsterdam just to have a gay wedding started in other countries of Europe... because obviously people make immature jokes. Even until some years ago people kept using that stereotype-joke, which is silly as so many other countries have legalised it since then.
@@CineShinya that is so interesting! In the US, I never heard that before. I only ever hear about going to Amsterdam for the sex workers and/or marijuana.
@@illillyillyo This conversation makes me feel bad about Netherlands 😅
I heard of the drugs stereotype too but later in life growing up, along with the bikes one, so I don't know if we got it later, or I just never had heard of it, to be fair. But not the other one you mentioned. The same sex marriages though was a really big one. At least in Greece it was brought up all the time as a joke.
@@illillyillyo interesting! I’m in/from the US too and have also never the gay marriage joke but only the marijuana and sex worker jokes. It’s interesting what info or stereotypes travel here and what doesn’t!
Shame on you Netherlands!!!!
As a Nigerian, I'm going to guess Nigeria is dead last
Yes. 😔
I'm from Spain, and during the last two decades we have advanced a lot in LGTB rights, even in more rural areas people has become more tolerant because of tv programs, school education, political measures... I think and hope that soon we all will see LGTBQ as normal as It is
So how can gays be accepted but not black people from other Spanish countries 🤔?
Turning you’re backs on God
I think we need to be more welcoming to people of different sexuality, as it's not always easy for them to have a different sexual option than what is expected in society.
nice
as a brazilian, i can say that brazil and mexico are really similar when it comes to acceptance towards the lgbtq+ community. it is a latin american thing maybe? idk, im not sure. but we have a lot in common culturally speaking and i guess that's why i feel that the two countries are really similar!
Yeah, Brazil is a country of contrasts
Well, in countries like Nicaragua, Peru or Honduras is really hard being gay.
Spain is super lgbtq friendly in 2005 gay marriage legalised and I saw gay couples kissing in the street in 2006 which I never saw in UK!
Islamic nations left the chat.
No, we are watching and laughing on this madness
@@ao-ww1qh funny considering that most viewers of gay porn come from the Muslim countries
Ha ha lucky Muslims
@@SRBOMBONICA86
Hhh
Balkan people are also lucky in this matter as I'm aware
African countries too
In Brazil we have a lot of laws protecting and giving rights to gay people, still having some homophobic people, but so far to be majority
Dear Alice, as a fellow Brazilian I don't agree with your position in the line. Brazil is far from being a LGBTQI+ paradise, but we are still way better than the rest of Latin America.
Are you guys are more accepting than other countries like Uruguay and Costa Rica ?
Absolutely !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I've heard too, some people used to tell me Brazil was more gay friendly than the USA, but that was like 5-10 years ago so it may be different now.
@@AslanKyoya1776 Most people don't care about your sexuality in Brazil. The only problem is the community itself, because they wanna marry (like church marriage) and some churches don't accept to make the marriage, so...
Legal shit.
So keep them in your jungles and don´t send them to Argentina.
I was in Germany last year. I visited about 20 cities and in all of them, I saw more rainbow flags than German flags. Argentina was among the first countries to have gay marriage (before France). Also, Uruguay and Colombia are gay-friendly.
Here a Turkish from capital city of Turkey, Ankara. We are not too religious, but i can say that we are a religious country - atheist here - . And a militarist country. any person who is from any Balkan country will understand me. There were some times of The republic of Turkey that ruled by militarist party, secular party, and as you know now we are ruled by religious party unfortunately. But in none of this times LGBTİ is thought to be as normal thing. İf you are gay, even if u are masculine one, you are not accepted as a man and same think for lesbians too. İ dont even talk about transsexual persons think that what they are facing with in public. İt really breaks my heart. İ support them. But i dont support prides. Especially the İstanbul pride. They are really toxic. What makes them toxic is -again- us. We dont defend their rights. İ hope one day we get rid of this idiots, and everybody lives as they wish❤️
Erdogan and his ruling party AKP is the true representation of the Turkish society. Liberal from outside but conservative from inside.
Idk why ppl have such a big problem with the gays, like let ppl exist its not a big deal. In Greece the government is accepting I think, like u can get married but not at a church, but some ppl aren't at all. Like being openly gay at a village will make a lot of ppl (mostly boys) hate u. It's litrally pathetic.
Thank you for this
Hey guys! Where would YOUR country rank on this line up?
Great watch as always
Sweden will go even further east than France. I live in a small village, open and everything. 🇸🇪🏳️🌈 One of the best countries in the World for LGBTQ people, along with Norway, Malta, Finland etc... 🙂
$$$$
I've watched lately the movie "Rafiki" , about two girls that fall in love , it's a movie about two girls from Kenya 🇰🇪 , I know there're a differences among countries from Africa , but in that movie i saw what happened 😳 and I think most of the countries in the world , not just Africa , are like that , truly intolerant
@JP the invisible man in the sky?
Omg I loved that movie! But it’s so heartbreaking
Not everyone is Christian, so... @JP
Religion ≠ Spirituality or Morals @JP
@JP define "do whatever you want."
I've visited smaller cities in mexico, and they are very accepting. MEXICO for the win. Beautiful people and culture
I'm bisexual from England 🏴 as a woman I've never felt any hate from outside my circle. My parents are homophobic but random people on the street don't say how they feel if what they feel is negative.
Or negative prejudice and generalizations @JP.
@JP da fuck gay people are not spreading, lgbtq people have existed and will always exist no matter what you think
You don't get it. Many people think its fine for lesbians but not for gays. Am not a male chauvinist, but I find it unfair.
For women it is OK. The problem is the inverted men. Each time there are fewer real men.
good stuff!
I will never understand why homophobic people complain about us being everywhere when it’s their choice to get on RUclips and watch these videos and complain in the comments
That is a true story for Stacy from Nigeria to become a different person. She may be herself and all but her short story about herself is true. : )
It’s very important for queer Nigerians to tell their stories. They need so much support.
Can you please do a "you know you're dating a south korean woman when?"
In the past couple of years I traveled a lot in Mexico in cities like Guadalajara and Puebla and I saw no problems for gay people. I think that it's like the US - more accepted in big cities but not accepted in small towns or rural areas.
The last part when the guy told his mom he's so straight I said aww poor baby fr .. and yes many many I am in America .. I am in Tennessee I am from Colorado I do not know rights in countries but I am proud of the channel to choose those who know about their country law .. but many do say that because you are who you are it's because you need a real man to feel woman ugh 😩 or when your transition many have a issue understanding the part that when you are uncomfortable inside your body as a woman or as a man feeling as though you are meant to be something else!! I am not transition orr gay ..maybe I am attracted to woman .. but I understand completely just as much as I am sensitive to others feelings. 💛😩
This was a really good vid. I think it’s helpful to see the range in treatment as well as how some of the countries evolved so far, because like the French man said, we can forget how lucky we are sometimes. Here in the US it’s probably about the same as France on this scale, and even so there’s still so much work to be done to improve. It’s scary though to see how bad things still are on the harsher end of this country range shown here. I hope globally we all improve and become safer for everyone.
I agree that the U.S. as a whole is on the tolerant end of the scale. Many areas, including most cities, would be as open and accepting as any European city. Rural areas are less so. I am in my late 50s, so of course I have seen light-years of change in the U.S. In my childhood, no gay kid would ever willingly come out in most rural areas or small towns. And tragically, those who were outed were often forced out of their homes by parents or even attacked. I knew a kid who committed suicide after being rejected by his parents.. So, American society has thankfully come a long way -- thanks to the LGBTQ community fighting for itself -- but we have a long way to go, particularly in accepting and respecting trans individuals.
Here is my ranking from least to most friendly:Nigeria, Turkey,Ukraine,Mexico,Brazil,France
Thank you for the wonderful content!
I think many Mexicans are gay friendly, open minded, relaxed about the topic, and also that there are many openly gay people. Of course homophobia still exist there, because of wrong religious beliefs maybe, and of course because of machismo. But, you can watching characters on TV channels more than before, and gay couples on the street, or talk about gay subject more naturally than before. About what the Mexican guy said about Puebla city being one of the most homophobic cities in the country, I desagree. On the contrary, I think people from Guanajuato State are the most conservative in terms of acceptance of sexual diversity.. However, in that state there are also openly gay men, as there are gays in the closet in Mexico City and homophobia.
Here's a condensed story I read from a US Army advisor to Ukraine, pre-2022:
>Guy could clear out a room by asking people if they'd rather blow a dude or buttsecks him
>Asked a dude if he knew that the Bruno Mars song he was listening to was gay. Dude almost dropped his phone.
>People took "gay" as a serious insult
>Visited the front lines once. Russians and Ukrainians taking potshots at each other
>Grabbed a megaphone and yelled, "ANYONE WHO SHOOTS NEXT IS GAY" in broken Russian.
>Both sides stop firing. Complete silence for ~3 mins
Brazil has changed a lot in the last ten years. We even have ads with lgbt couples on the open TV. It's getting pretty common. I also see a lot of people of the same sex holding hands in the streets. (Ps: I often travel between the north and northeast of the country and these regions are pretty far from Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro). I know things here are not perfect, but they are getting better. I also think Brazil should've stayed in front of Mexico in that line.
No, the line is fine. Mexico has changed a lot too, Mexico City is by far the most gay friendly city in Latin America, people hold hands and kiss everywhere no matter what. And Puerto Vallarta has been the most gay-friendly beach destination on the American continent for years, it's like a refuge for thousands of gays from the United States and Canada. Likewise, in Mexico there is no telenovela that does not have people with gay or lesbian love stories, there are even transgenders having stellar shows on public television.
@@kp2xd340 Well, Brazil has had same sex mariage for 12 years and Mexico for not even 12 months though (and they don't have national adoption rights like Brazil does), plus Brazil has very friendly destinations like SP (biggest pride parade in the world for example). Anyway the most gay friendly big city in Latam is probably still Buenos Aires
@@FOLIPE Mexico City was the first city and jurisdiction in all of Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage in 2010. In Mexico, each state is autonomous and legalized it in its own time. Mexico is more gay friendly, in Brazil there are many super conservative evangelicals, even more than Catholics.
Greece: in-between Ukraine n Brasil. Unless its Mykonos....
Remember not all arabian counties are against lgbtq, turkey I'd say it's the best of them, is not that good but not that bad either...
South Africa is pretty good when it comes to African countries in terms of lgbt basic human rights/equality
Turkey is not a arabian country 😂😂😂
"being gay in turkey is not a crime" tell that to the gay trans non binary or even bisexual people in turkey the police brutality is fucking nuts
Love all the people! #freedom
in Serbia LGBT have strange position, not so accepted as in France, Germany or Nordic Europe, same sex marriage is not legal, there are laws giving equality which are not always followed, prime minister is openly lesbian in relationship with other woman with whom has a baby... chaos is our middle name :)
Young generation is supports gay people in turkey
I don't think so.
As a someone of young generation i dont support it
Nice try you greek turkey is muslim allah bless erdoğan
Noooooo
@@ibrahimssen benim tanıdıklarım saygı duyuyor en azından . Eskiye nazaran daha iyi diye düşünüyorum
I am surprised at the level of homophobia and transphobia that I am reading in some of the comments. Very sad.
The consensus I’m getting is basically people are more open minded in the larger cities regardless of country.
I don't know, my experience tells the opposite, for example I've talked to a lot of people who are from Europe and most of the friendliest ones come from small cities/ towns, people in big cities tend to be rude and hard to talk with.
but I'm from Venezuela and that's the opposite, people in big cities tend to be more open and friendly than people from villages, towns...
and my family lives in Argentina and they tell me that people from small cities are friendly and easy to talk with unlike people from big cities (Buenos Aires for example)
so at the end that depends on the country 😅
@@ichbinhier355 I’m from Trinidad but have lived in the USA for over 30 years and it has been my experience that residents of larger metropolitan areas are more liberal or open minded, maybe that comes from living amongst people who have different life experiences , access to institutes of higher learning, who knows ?
Gay marriage is legal in the US but with our right wing politics and SCOTUS I'm not sure what the future holds.
Awesome video , wonderful upload !

I would place Brazil in front of Mexico in this regard. Mexico is a bit more conservative than Brazil from my experience and there's no city gayer than Rio.
Puerto Vallarta.
Not really
Why did no one support the Nigerian woman over the jailing thing? 😢 Like maybe she should’ve gotten the chance to explain why she’s happy.
The happiness was sarcasm. It was a joke to make light of a sad situation.
It wasn’t meant to be celebrated, it was meant to be heard.
4:15 actually Qur'an doesn't say anything about gay being illegal, it's in the hadiths (written by humans)
Don't corrupt the words of Quran. Quran is clear about its speeches
ruclips.net/video/y0U666Y_UoQ/видео.html
Oooh... "Written by humans"... 'cause the other book is not written by humans.
Humanity is lost.
@@neuropakho support VHEM bro.
and actually turkey hasnt got an official religion, neither ruled by sharia. we live secular in here and yes people may insult you or make fun of you in turkey since there are religious people too. but this doesnt mean that being gay, acting like gay etc. is forbidden. you can be whatever you want, most of the people will respect.
Read the story of Prophet Lut (A.S) Quran 54:37
Homosexuality is certainly Haram and forbidden in Islam.
I'm Dutch, I think we would be par with France, or maybe somewhat above France. I think Brazil should be second instead of Mexico, there are almost no gayer cities in the world than Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro! And hopefully, when Bolsonaro is gone, things will be better for Brazil. All cool guests by the way! I'm happy that Stacey is now living in a country where she can be herself, but it would of course be much better if her home country would not be so conservative.
Oh, no! The Netherlands is much friendlier than France because it has a lot of influence from the Muslim community nowadays.
I'm not into politics but Brazil hasn't changed a lot in terms of people's mindset towards the LGBT community. The current president is homophobic the same way Bolsonaro is. Both said questionable things about gay people in the past although Lula's supporters will never admit it. Don't believe in everything you hear.
Great video!! I think your range was very good from veryyy not accepting to a country like France where it is okay.
Sheesh….thanks i was born and raised in Argentina(within latam)
I'm from Serbia and I think we would be placed between Ukraine and Brazil
Serbia is anti gay it's government is gay
Homophobia got worse in Brazil during Bolsonaro's reign and this Brazilian lady imo seemed to forget how bad homophobia has become in that period and sadly it's not improved.
I'm a Brazilian man, from North of Brazil (Belém-PA). I’m not gay, but I don’t agree with the Brazilian of the video. This was Brazil 20 or 30 years ago. Now I think the society accepted and normalised gay relationships. One of my best friend is gay, and I was in his wedding. We see gay couple everywhere in the streets, TV, internet, etc. I think the situation in Brazil is a lot, but a lot better than the rest of Latin America.
If this is the case why did so many people vote for Bolsonaro who’s a homophobe?
That’s not true
@@frenkli9815 Because Brazil is still very homophobic. The thing is that people are kind of hiding their prejudice nowadays. Thankfully the Supreme Court is serving as a shield to protect LGBT rights during his government.
@@frenkli9815 I have relatives who voted for Bolsonaro but totally disagreed with his homophobic lines and sort of voted for him because he was better economically than his opponent
Hardly, I'd say Uruguay and Argentina are easily better to be gay, and Brazil would probably tie with Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador.
However, yes Brazil is better for gays than Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Peru, and Paraguay
My heart goes out to Stacey & the people of her country. Really, to all the panel who have intolerance in their countries. They all seem like lovely people and it's so sad that they can't just be appreciated & respected.
I live In Nigeria. Although it's illegal over here, as long as you live in the developed areas, and don't go around shoving your sexuality down everyone's throat, you'd be fine.
@James.P that’s why we don’t want you to be put on a pedestal
Max is the funniest 😂
I love you Stacy!!
UK and I live in Spain both countries very gay friendly and I have never witnessed any negativity from the people. There are gay bars and areas in both.
South Korea would be somewhere in between cuz its so heteronormative that people dont even think youre gay and people arent violent to other people even if they dont agree in general but its like social isolation and shame more than anything.
No ,in South Korea gays themselves are conservative people ,it's different culture
Happy Thursday, Marina! As a straight male, I have a few friends that are gays, and lesbians and I do respect them and they respect me which is more important to me. Have a great weekend, Marina ❤
the only way i can describe Ukraine’s view/attitude towards LGBT+ is that while it is incredibly flawed and honestly quite behind, it can improve, and I have considerable hope it will improve given the chances to
@JP i don’t think that it’s necessarily that black and white
ok but turkey is not ruled by quran tho...
Here in Greece, this matter is ....interesting... I belong to the LGBTQ myself and to be honest I have never been attacked or insulted by the people I came out to. Especially the people from 40 and under don't mind. Even in the villages, since my family is from one and my cousins and aunt are fine with it and their friends too. In university also everyone was more than ok with it as well.
BUT... also coming from a very Christianic family, my parents' friends can be very homophobic and make harsh jokes, because they don't know about me. If they did, though, they wouldn't say something. Not to my face. Most likely they would feel sad for my parents, but that's all. Same in my job in a christianic magazine (because I have to work and that's the best I found ironically), they literally told me not to draw manga because they have "silly things like gays". So as a punishment I draw manga characters in them in more cartoon style and they don't even know~ And someone would ask why do I still work there, but I find more amusing to have the homophobes pay and praise a LGBTQ person's job than lose my job because of their bigotry. After all they are all just words but harmless.
In addition to many places in the world, even if there is homophobia, it's rarely if ever dangerous. Those people are like dogs that bark too loudly but don't dare to bite. Incidents of violence might happen, but they are the exception, not the canon.
If only I got all guys to realize changing me is not possible that would be great because many of them don't grasp the concept and hit on me anyway even if they know. But oh well, at least they don't attack me or try to physically force me to change. So I am grateful, as it could be worse.
Smart Greek !!! Although religious people will always reject violently... Just remember Sodom and Gomorrah .... They will tell you that it's God's willing and you'll burn in hell...
Eh you will burn in hell regardless ,so acceptence here doesn't matter
Sadly Turkey went backwards in this regard , but hopefully things will move in the right direction...when Turks soon kick this government out
In youre dream you freak allah bless erdoğan lets go erdogan
Turkey didn't went backwards! Majority of Turks are very conservative and religious. The only change you have seen today is that there is a democracy in Turkey now. Before that, Turkey was ruled by a pseudo-secular dictatorship of Kemalists who only had the support of the liberal-secular Western oriented Marmara region based Turks but now with democracy, majority of the population which is conservative & religious btw, is more visible. That's why Erdogan is being elected to the office more and more.
@@Lyallpuriya exatcliy these western talking like they understand everything majorty of turks dont want this lghdtv here
@@AA-dh5gt These westerners have completely backstabbed their own Christian values but we Muslims must uphold our Islamic values and morality as much as we can. We can't let these Western pedophiles dictate us what is right and what is wrong. Today they say homosexuality is right and tomorrow they will say pedophilia and beastiality is also natural.
Turkey is there right?why not Asian country?India?
Ghana is the same as Nigeria
Although Alice speaks a little pessimistically, she has some points which is right.
It is very difficult to be gay in rural areas and small cities of Brazil.
But if you live in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, you will be fine. 🙌🏻
I think Max’s experiences are accurate, based on what I’ve heard from my family and friends there.
Turkey legalized homosexuality as Ottoman Empire during 19th century...way earlier than almost all european countries...it is quite contradicting...
Only because they were secular. Not Islamic
It's nice to see that (contrary to the gender-equal video) all five of them (and many people in the comments) don't try to prove (til their last breath) that their countries are better, but simply accept the (mostly sad) facts about them.
I hope to see one day a world were it is safe for lgbtq+ everywhere. The planet will be a better place with more love and less hate. ❤️
I so totally agree. In my experience, love, respect and tolerance allow you to see and know the individual person, with all the humanity and intelligence that person brings to the world. Hate just blinds you to other people. It negates the individual and prevents any kind of human connection on any level.
I agree with France, Brazil, and Mexico to be gay, I disagree with Turkey and Nigeria because these two countries are Muslim countries idk about Ukraine but idk if it’s ok to be gay or homophobic in Ukraine
as a Turkish person i strongly disagree with this guy claiming “turkey is a religious country” like what the heck? has he ever even been in Turkey??
Turkey has no official religion plus Turkey is a SECULAR COUNTRY SINCE 1923!! i see a bunch of happy LGBTQ couples when i go out in Istanbul and Izmir -including me! i really wonder where did this guy even come from!
I'm Brazilian and personally I don't have nothing against it. Although I see this as something individual and obviously not as an opinion of a homogeneous group, as someone would like to preach.
Homosexuality or heterosexuality is restricted to the person and only to him and both must be respected, as long as there is no overlap between one and the other.
I’m a gay American and I’d put my country maybe one spot above or below France. We have homophobes here, but I only really hear from them online. When I came out I had no issues at all with anyone. I know some people that didn’t have a great coming out experience, but most people were very sympathetic of their situations and were willing to get them help. This is why I’ve never felt the need to go to a pride parade or anything like that, I’m very satisfied with how I’m treated in my country.
We have to honor and respect your generation and the generations before you, who changed history and our society for the better by refusing to hide, to be outsiders or to be victims. History will look back and view LGBTQ Americans as pioneers and, indeed, heroes. I am a cis, straight man, but I have an adult trans daughter. I am so grateful to my fellow Americans for making this a country where my daughter can be safe, proud and productive.
@@johnalden5821 ewwww
I agree, I think we'd be similar to France
0:08 What?
What's up? :)
I think Canada is maybe a little below France. Idk. I think canadians are still more religious and I know a lot of people are still mad about gays being on TV... So...
What's interesting about this lineup is that most of the 'least' countries got their homophobia through colonialism and Western influences, while France, the 'least,' was one of the countries that partook in said colonialism. In general, most countries with marriage equality are in Europe, but they only progressed after causing regression elsewhere.
P.S. despite the prevalent machismo culture, literally every Latin American guy I've met has implied that most Latino guys have a clear bisexual streak. Would anyone care to explain why?
In the main countries of Latin America such as Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, same-sex marriage is allowed. What happens in Hispanic countries is that sex is a huge taboo for us, so for that reason the interest about it grows and grows and sometimes getting a girlfriend isn't easy, nor fast, maybe those Latino guys you met are not exactly bisexual but curious. To be honest, in our countries if you fall in love with your straight friend, and you don't give up quickly, there are chances to have a fun adventure with him. 🤣
I think it depends of how old they are. Almost every young person I know have ever had at least one "homo experience" or are bisexual. But it's not so common between older people. (I live in Brazil, specifically southeast, don't know about other regions)
So Turks and Ukrainians are homophobic because of colonialism? What?
What do you mean colonialism? Christianity? I kinda doubt that homosexuality was OK before in those countries (Nigeria had islam before colonization, that makes me doubt even more), even though nowadays its for sure church (both christien and islamic) that spreads the most hate. Were the native religions and socialties more gay friendly?
Ha ha, its so interesting to me that most gay hostile environments create the most gays, lol. I have friends from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Georgia and in all of them being gay is huge taboo (even criminalized until recently). Yet, bisexuality is super common, way more common then in my, liberal country. I think gender segregation and sexual frustration definitelly plays a role. Girls in Georgia also told me they do not trust, even fear, Georgien man.
@@Anastazka00 You doubted wrong, Islam wasn't an indigenous religion to West Africa either, they have their own tribal faiths that go back centuries and were less restrictive than you'd think. Regarding native societies being queer friendly, I actually recommend you look up how gay and trans friendly Indigenous American tribes have always been, and openly so before you-know-who arrived by ship. And trans people were also a common sight in Mughal (who were Muslim) courts in South Asia and were revered for their wisdom. Some extremist Islamist fringes aren't faultless, but it was colonial legislation like Section 377 from the British, that criminalized homosexuality in most former colonies, and this continues to this day thanks to LDS missionaries traveling to South Korea, China, Pacific Islands etc and spreading more queerphobic bigotry in the name of 'civlizing' the 'savages'
The only problem about the prejudice of lgbt community in Brazil. It’s because of the Christian religion that is very strong, and the people who are more ignorant because they don’t have any condition to be pay a good School or things like that, believes on everything !
6:18 haha
I'm from the United States and have three cousins who are gay from both side of my family two men and one woman that are older then my self and we knew they were gay growing up some had problems with them being guy but I didn't I look at it like this live and let live and let every one love who they love .
Lesbians have privileges. But then in the end they also show the disadvantage where lesbians are told they should change. Fewer women tell men 'they need a real woman to show them'... Still, better than getting beat up. It's sad.
Albanian and Serbian, but i can say about both countries you will get beaten up just for fun. So i believe my countries would be inbetween turkey and ukraine or even turkey and nigeria
This video ignored the country with the highest gay population on Earth.
Vatican City. 🇻🇦
Ok who else thought the Nigerian lesbian lady said METH instead of MEN? Lmao
Gay guys like to wear very short shorts i can see in this video lol
No, it has nothing to do with that. The only person spreading anything here is you and your negative prejudice all over this comment section @JP.
@JP Dude if you're a Christian why do you have so much hate in your heart didn't God say to love your neighbor.
@JP do you like being such a vile person?
@@myacelesteJesus said " No homo".
@james.p4579your soul is rotten.
Psalms 41 4:13
✝️🙏🏽
4. I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5. Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6. And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7 . All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8. An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10. But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 . By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12. And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
Are you ok..?
United States belongs between France and Mexico. Canada and Spain would be probably be past France on the right with Spain furthest right.
