    I already told you it's a generation issue. Older people are more conservative.

    So? You said my generation is behind, I'm in the 18-29 group.

    An illustration of social attitudes towards homosexuality in the UK was provided in May 2007 in a survey by YouGov. The poll indicated that legislation outlawing discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation was supported by 90% of British citizens. It also showed positive public perceptions of gay people in particular, but recognised the extent to which prejudice still exists.[90] A poll in June 2009 conducted by Populus for The Times reported that the majority of the public supports same-sex marriage; 61% of respondents agreed that "Gay couples should have an equal right to get married, not just to have civil partnerships".[91][92] There were few differentials by partisanship
    That's with no age barrier

    And South Korea seems to be behind by a generation or so.

    Thanks for making my case for me.
    How is not having any personal freedom comparable to not being able to adopt kids or getting married for that matter? I don't know who's your dealer, but i'd like to get his number. Unless Poland starts putting gay people in chains you have no argument.

    What don't you understand? You're saying 18-29 in SK, I am saying in UK that's 18-50 (possibly 60] so in SK you have people over 30+ are less accepting than 30+ people in the West (where Pride existed longer)

    Apart from the fact that this thread is pretty close to discussing sexuality at this point, it's also hardly more than bickering between a few users. Closing this.
