Abstract
This chapter broadens the scope of the book outside the United States and shows that advances in support for gay rights have been broader than previously thought. Using the World and European Values Survey, which have surveyed attitudes involving homosexuality since the 1980s, the chapter shows that on nearly every continent, there are countries whose attitudes have changed similarly to the United States. The chapter then shows that the major factors which divide countries that have seen change from those than have not are GDP and the size and freedom of each country’s media system. Countries with free and pervasive media, which allowed for the success of ACT-UP, saw attitude change. Those without free media or with little media infrastructure still harbour pervasive anti-gay attitudes. Tentative results on how political party systems effect gay rights support are also presented.
