Largest gay populations by country (europe)

“Germany has the largest LGBT population in Europe, according to research.

The news comes from Berlin’s Dalia Research, which published the results of a Europe-wide EuroPulse study, which interviewed 12,000 people across 28 EU countries. 

According to the study, reported by Vice.de Germany leads Europe in terms of LGBT population size, with 7.4% of Germans identifying themselves as LGBT.

When asked to place themselves on a Kinsey scale between exclusively heterosexual and exclusively homosexual, 10.9% of Germans said they weren’t exclusively straight.

Across Europe, 5.9% defined as LGBT, and 8.6% indicated that they were not exclusively heterosexual.

The figure represents a large spike in Germany from 2000, when just 1.3% of men identified as gay, 0.6% of women as lesbian.

The country with the smallest population of LGBT people is Hungary, where just 1.4% identified themselves as LGBT.

The large LGBT population in Germany is not a surprise, with Berlin being famous for its gay population.

Though Germany is moderately progressive on LGBT rights, Chancellor Angela Merkel has repeatedly ruled out calls to introduce equal marriage, saying: “For me, marriage is a man and a woman living together.” 

In a challenge to her government, opposition parties in the upper house of the German Parliament passed a same-sex marriage bill last year – though it stands a near-zero chance of becoming law without her support. 

It was recently confirmed that Germany will pay compensation to men who faced convictions under the country’s historic laws banning gay sex."

It doesn't really have much (if anything) to do with the size of the population though :sweat: it's a percentage of the german population if there's more people there's more straights too so it doesn't change the percentage

7.4%?? far more of the population than i thought would be

When u take into account people that may still be in the closet that would never admit it...

 

It could be closer to 10%

I've red somewhere that every 1 person in 10 , is homo.:huh:

i wouldn't dare to say that one in ten is exclusively gay but it sums up the lgbt population quite well, there are more bisexual people than anyone would really think.
