25 Countries with the Biggest Homosexual Population

Listing countries with the biggest LGBTQ+ population presents several challenges. The number of LGBTQ+ members vary from country to nation, but the average percentage is around 10%. Calculating the actual number of LGBTQ+ people based on these percentages is the logical first step. However, obtaining accurate figures isn&#x;t easy, as not all countries openly accept their LGBTQ+ community. Some nations allow individuals to freely proclaim their sexual orientation, while others have a smaller number of LGBTQ+ individuals who feel cozy coming out. Thus, our calculations must consider various factors.

Liberal countries tend to have largest Gay population, whether we look at percentages or total numbers. For our research, we gathered global and country-specific LGBTQ+ percentage facts. On average, one in ten people belongs to the Homosexual community. However, this figure can be significantly higher (up to 15%) in some countries and lower (around 5%) in others. Yet, we suspect that the difference shouldn&#x;t be as harsh

Happy Pride Month, one and all! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and to rejoice, we asked Time Out’s LGBTQ+-identifying writers and editors to tell us all about their favourite capital on the planet. The resulting list covers all four corners of the globe, from the beaches of Brazil to the creative hub of Glasgow’s Southside. These are cities with a vibrant gay community, cities that back and protect LGBTQ+ citizens and visitors, and cities that are notable hubs for Queer life in their respective countries and regions. So, what are the world’s most LGBTQ+-friendly cities? While we couldn’t possibly designate them all, these are some of our favourites.

The UK has dropped six places in ILGA-Europe’s Rainbow Map, as Hungary and Georgia also register steep falls following anti-LGBTI legislation. The statistics highlights how rollbacks on LGBTI human rights are part of a broader erosion of democratic protections across Europe. Read more in our press release.

“Moves in the UK, Hungary, Georgia and beyond signal not just isolated regressions, but a coordinated global backlash aimed at erasing LGBTI rights, cynically framed as the defence of tradition or public stability, but in reality constructed to entrench discrimination and suppress dissent.”
