If you look you will see that pretty much every country where it is legal is a predominantly christian country. So that cant be it. Dark Blue - Marriage open to same-sex couples Greenish - Recognized when performed in certain other jurisdictions Bright Blue - Civil unions/domestic partnerships Sky Blue - Unregistered cohabitation this means nothing. Spain has legal marriage and during pride nazis are allowed to protest and let go free of charges after assaulting gay couples. marriage equality is not the epitome of lgbt rights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, majority of them aren't even very religious at all. They are just Christians by name. What even is this image it has no key or anything? I have no clue what its saying.

It's actually well known that homophobia in Uganda increased significantly due to American missionaries. There's a vice documentary you can watch on YouTube too yeah i've seen that vice episode. great showing of the power of the white man i mean they're like witches casting spells on people with their jesus voodoo. poor gullible ugandans always letting america show them the way. a nice short telling of how this happened. the ending is pretty important I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

Don't you think that countries where gay marriage is supported enough to be passed would be the ones who are the most tolerant of it? If the other countries supported it they too would pass their own laws. Hands up to the sky, I'm about to fly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the actual percentage number of Atheists it still isnt even close to a majority in any of these countries. In europe for example there are only 3 countries where the number of Atheists is grater than 1/3 of the total population. So most of these countries are still very religious. if you look at the the statistics for the EU it shows that only 20% of people are not religous or spiritual at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism Hands up to the sky, I'm about to fly!

Pretty much everywhere in the world that isnt christian has not legalized gay marriage. I'm not going to argue that sadly, most religions are against gay marriage, but I fail to see how this is a problem caused by just christianity nor how its "America's fault". Most countries that have legalized gay marriage or are pro LGBT rights are ones with christian majorities Hands up to the sky, I'm about to fly!

Rest even if they have laws don't enforce them. Also, traditional African religions were accepting of homosexuality. The Christian pastors changed their entire cultures.
