eastern countries have varying levels of it. most are fine with couples, but they havent tied the relationship to the legal version of it.
Taiwan i think is the only region that outright performs it. Thailand is probably up next as they already have many rights in.(edit: they it it very recently) other countries like Cambodia, Japan and such have some rights to gay couples, but they arent entirely 1:1 to their hetero couples yet. The graph probably represents gay marriage being analogous to all rights offered to both types of couples in a binary fashion.
What’s the deal with Asia
Opposition in North Africa, the Middle East and parts of South and South East Asia is at least partially explained by religious political ideology.
Russia, as the biggest area, and China might be fueled by opposition to their percieved cultural enemies.
I don’t know why India and Japan haven’t legalised marriage equality yet.
Non religious conservatism is a thing. Those countries also tend to be much worse on women’s rights too.
India? the country with deeply rooted religious society that has little regard for women in general? that India would go for equality?
