Generational differences in attitudes toward homosexuality

by u/LeninLives

Source is the World Values Survey longitudinal data (1981-2020). The questionnaire asks respondents the extent to which they believe homosexuality is justifiable on a 1-10 scale, where 1 is never justified and 10 is always justified. I coded youth as those belonging to the Millennial and Gen Z generation (i.e., anyone born after 1981), and elders as those in the Baby Boomer generation (1945-1964), then subtracted the average Boomer response from the average Millennial response. In countries given the darkest blue shade, there was a gap of 2 points or more between the groups. In the second blue shade, there was a gap of 1-2, and in the lightest blue shade, there was a gap of 0.3-1. The “no difference" countries had a difference between 0-0.3. In Armenia, the only country in which elders were notably more accepting of homosexuality, the difference was -.31.

EDIT: There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding of the map. The map does not at all indicate the overall level of acceptance for homosexuality. It only indicates whether youth are more accepting of homosexuality relative to their elders. There are plenty of countries where the population is overall extremely opposed to homosexuality, but youth are still slightly less opposed than older people (i.e. Pakistan, Bangladesh, among others), so they are colored in light blue. This does not necessarily mean youth in these countries are overall very accepting of homosexuality.

Lugansk communists: We are true to our ideals & symbols

April 22: The communists are not going to give up their ideas and symbols, said Maksym Chalenko, First Secretary of the Lugansk City Communist Party, at a rally commemorating the 145th anniversary of Lenin's birth. According to him, the political decisions taken in Kiev, including the law on "decommunization," amount to suicide for the whole country.

"Today, any sensible person understands that the legacy of communism is not monuments and city names. It is the great industrial potential, all the achievements in the social sphere, the best education and health care, the possibility of a decent life for every citizen across the country -- that's what Ukraine inherited from the Soviet Union. And it is these achievements which the monuments to Lenin which stood throughout Ukraine represented." He added that the attempt to abandon the communist past threatens the statehood of Ukraine: the decision excludes all international legal acts to which the USSR was a party. As a result Ukraine already has received a number of territorial and property claims on the part of European States. And Ukrainian authorities brought this on themselves by by adopting the law on "decommunization."
