This Pride Month, new Gallup data reveal a persistent global divide in whether people believe their own communities are good places for gay and lesbian people to live. In 2024, a median of 39% across more than 120 countries said their city or area was a good place for gay and lesbian people, slightly below the 45% who said it was not.
Despite this division, global views have changed considerably over time. When Gallup began tracking these perceptions in 2007, 23% viewed their local areas as good places for gay and lesbian people rather than 55% who said it was not good places. Then, the 39% who now view their area as a good place is nearly double the 2007 percentage.
Since 2007, many countries have introduced legal changes affecting gay and lesbian people. There has been a steady increase in both the number of countries where same-sex relationships are legal and those that recognize same-sex marriage.
