Full Survey Results

Afrobarometer, a pan-African, nonpartisan survey research network surveyed dozens of African countries regarding various social, economic, and pollical questions. Among the questions was one question about having homosexuals as neighbors. The possible responses were "strongly dislike", "somewhat dislike," "would not care," "somewhat like," and "strongly like." For simplicity, Equaldex combines "strongly dislike" and "somewhat dislike" as "not tolerate" and "strongly like," "somewhat like," and "would not care" as "tolerate." Respondents who did not answer or answered "don't know" are excluded from the results. Because of the number of countries surveyed, the survey periods varied by countries, ranging from December 2016 to September 2018.

Question: "For each of the following types of people, please tell me whether you would like having people from this group as neighbours, dislike it, or not care: Homosexuals?"
