Where Are The WORLD’s Biggest Homophobes?From Gay Community News: Northern Ireland came out as the western world's most homophobic state in a paper interpreting statistics from the Human Beliefs and Values Survey. Prof John Mangan, co-author of the paper entitled Love Thy Neighbour: How Much Bigotry is there is Western Countries, conducted his research in 24 Western countries.

There are national hate crime figures in the United Kingdom, but these do not track crimes motivated by bias based on sexual orientation. Within the United Kingdom, London's Metropolitan Police is the independent police authority with the most consistent and comprehensive monitoring on sexual orientation bias crimes. The statistics for London show a fairly steady level of crime motivated by sexual orientation over the past several years, with 1,245 homophobic crimes in 2003/2004, 1,346 in 2004/2005, and 1,294 in 2005/2006.[26] However, these figures likely represent only the tip of the iceberg as police themselves estimate that some 90 percent of homophobic hate crimes go unreported. The percentage of unreported homophobic hate crimes is suspected to be considerably higher than for racially- or religiously-motivated violence, even though the police there have made a concerted effort to improve their relationship with the capital's gay population.[27]
If your from the UK, first get your country in order before you jump on the high horse and point fingers....
