Even in progressive countries like norway thats one in ten people think that homosexuality is never or rarely ok. Insane. Thats so many people. Its a minority, sure, but its still common.
Unfortunately every country has their low-water-mark percentage of irredeemable bigots. Thankfully most of them tend to live out in the middle of nowhere, away from civilised people.
Here all the fuckers who want me killed¹ are christian, and it’s the main vector for homophobic propaganda, still probably the main vector for transphobic.
You should modify that to “belongs to a backwards branch of a religion”
Christians in my country are mostly LBQT-friendly. (These are not the fundamentalisic US kind of christians though).
Muslims on the other hand… some serious fraction are homophobes…

Christians aren’t people.
You wish it was about religion. In Poland most of homophobes I know aren’t religious in any way and Poland is/was religious country.
They hate them cuz they’re different and easy to hate for laughs. “I have nothing for gays. Not even respect, hehehe” etc.

Religion in general isn’t great, but they’re much less vile when they’re a persecuted minority.
Eeeeeh, it’s just as likely to turn them into extremist fanatics.
Which thry become if you dont step on them.
They’re Christian like Trump is Christian. It’s not religion driving this.
