I cannot tell you how important it is to see gay Nigerians! 🇳🇬🏳️‍🌈💕✨

[matheus]

I think brazil changed a lot, even in my small town, people are much more accepting.

[Charles_]

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 😕

[mlola]

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

[stefanijoanegaga]

as a brazilian I can say that Alice is absolutely right, you guys need to remember that brazil is a country and even though things have changed a lot in the last few years we are 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...

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

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.

[liambrannelly]

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

[brunoromualdo]

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

The first country in the world 🌎 to legalise marriage people who are the same sex was Netherlands 🇳🇱 2001

[Noneofthedays]

THANK YOU for finally responding to our requests. ❤️

[k.williamjones]

I am surprised at the level of homophobia and transphobia that I am reading in some of the comments. Very sad.

[sedefyeler]

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❤️

Young generation is supports gay people in turkey

[punkanelliefonkbush]

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

[ashnhergirl]

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.

[chidivids]

As a Nigerian, I'm going to guess Nigeria is dead last

[lucas.souza]

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.

[ElsBels]

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!
