Why does France lose a point for "Locals hostile", whereas Taiwan, where gay marriage got rejected by a 2-1 margin, doesn't?

Maybe because there are a lot of Muslim immigrants who physically attack gays in France, but the Taiwanese only do so at the polls ?

But I'm not sure. Their scores are not explained.

Of course Uruguay is the first Latin American country to crack the top 20.

Australia should be given 2 points on equal age of consent (this is unfair, as 2 states have a different overall age of consent that applies to both heterosexual couples and homosexual couples, therefore still being completely equal in all states and territories)

it should also be given 2 on adoption laws, which are completely uniform and give same sex couples the exact same right to adoption as opposite sex couples

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Austria jokes aside, nice to see their stereotypical image shed with developments such as this.

Besides asinine jokes, Uruguay has a long history of secularism and is extremely irreligious compared to other Latin American countries.

The UK losing a point for 'religious influence' is a little strange.
