The global landscape of LGBTQ+ rights reveals dramatic contrasts that might surprise you. While places like Iceland, Canada, and the Netherlands boast acceptance rates above 90%, over 30 countries in sub-Saharan Africa still criminalize LGBTQ+ identities entirely. Yet beneath these stark differences lies a hopeful truth: younger generations worldwide are driving unprecedented change. From Taiwan becoming Asia's first country to legalize same-sex marriage to underground activist networks fighting back in the Middle East, progress is happening in unexpected places. The generation that grew up with the internet has created a global culture of acceptance that transcends borders, and the statistics prove it. For the first time in history, a majority of people globally say their area is a good place for gay and lesbian people to live.
