I was wondering, since I noticed that there are many people here from around the globe, not only from the US. So, how homophobic/accepting your environment is?
Let's put it this way:
1 - Extremely homophobic. Being gay is illegal(or 'gay propaganda' as in Russia) and punishable by law. Not to mention social problems of the same kind.
2 - homophobic. Holding hands and other acts of showing affection with my same sex partner could get me physically harmed, I could lose my job if I came out to my boss, many people from my family would disown me.
3 - It's ok, but many things could be improved. Yet, it's not bad either.
4 - Accepting environment. People are tolerant, nobody cares who I share my bed with.
5 - Very accepting, I can marry whom I want, I can kiss my same sex partner in the street and being gay doesn't bother my career/social life/other.
I'd say I belong to #2. What's your number?
