Full Survey Results
From 2005 to 2009, the World Values Survey surveyed thousands of individuals in many countries about various topics. In this question, respondents were asked: "On this list are various groups of people. Could you please mention any that you would not like to have as neighbors?" and were able to select any of the nine choices, including "Homosexuals." Respondents that selected "don't know" or did not answer are ommitted from Equaldex's data.
