No surprise it follows religiosity:

The colors being backwards compared to the other image threw me for a sec.
Now overlay the map of states where the most gay porn is consumed. All the anti gay states will be the top consumers.
Oh! Oh! Now corelate the data against average household income!
A map for you sir/madam/all else
Well gawrsh, looks like it pays to be cool with the gays!
Or that comfort makes you tolerant. This would explain Florida's position of being relatively gay for how poor it is: mostly beach, pretty chill. Less need for a scapegoat I guess ;)
Well, there's also a lot of pockets of low low income earners that throw off the average in a few states. Nevada has a ton of people that live in the middle of the desert on nothing but meth and fentanyl, but Vegas and Reno are obviously super tolerant. Florida would be the similar, I imagine.
But yeah, so comfort might be a real factor here.
I used slightly more recent median household income for a correlation of 71%
What?! Wisconsin, the "Alabama of the north", has the same acceptance rate as Cali? I did not expect that.
First, the term is "Wississippi". Second, I totally agree. I was shocked to see how well we did.
I think, like usual, Madison and Milwaukee carry the load here.
I thought Cali would be higher given their reputation, but I'm also not that surprised.
There's a lot of latinos in CA and they're pretty religious.
Source: Some of my best friends are latino and aren't religious but their families are super religious. Which makes things real difficult for my gay latino friend.
There are a LOT of rednecks here out in the boonies. In the big cities the rate is higher, as with most places.
I’m visibly queer & live in the SF Bay Area, and while I feel relatively safe, I’ve also encountered far more homophobia/lesbophobia/transphobia than I would have expected
Don't care who they be fuckin, can they pound a beer and can they defend the honor of Cheesus is all that matters man
amen brother cheers from iraq
I always said that’d be Indiana lol.
I would've thought Oregon or California would be the highest
This should be overlapped with Pornhub’s viewing data per state for a good laugh.
Those are some pretty low numbers
Seriously! I thought this was an old jpg getting recycled until I zoomed in on the bottom 😬
Zooming in on the bottom is also how to be gay 🌈
You either zoom in on the bottom or become it
Also, a very convenient map of the best and worst US states.
Even in the best state 13% said no. More than 1 in 10. The fucking whole country is filled with disgusting human beings. I wonder what they'd say to the obvious follow up question of "Okay, what do you think should be done with homosexual people?"
The penis is at 65, low but high in context.
I am from here and Florida, at least in the cities, is queer as fuck. I hung out in gay bars as a teenager, because they were safe spaces for all sorts. We used to have a very big gay film festival in St Pete, our mayor in Tampa is a lesbian. I have no idea who that 45% is.
Interesting but not beautiful. No labels for the state names, even Americans don’t know the geography that well. The smaller states need numbers with lines. Maryland and D.C. overlap and Delaware has no number.
You should take it up with the original poster not the repost bot.
Ohhh nooo, someone's helping to populate the fediverse with more content so that it's not exclusively found on reddit! The humanity!
For the most liberal state in the Union, "Commiefornia" has an awful lot of conservatives and bigots
My university campus alone has had two hate crimes in the last year, one against a Muslim student and one against a gay student
Some of the big cities have mostly the progressives, but once out into the countryside or further away and into certain suburbs there are angry red areas.
California is so goddamn huge that it can't help but represent a wider range of demographics. I'd be interested to know how it compares against the overall national rate of acceptance.
Edit: If you average all of the numbers on the map together, the national average is 67%. Whether or not that's a responsible way to work with this data... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Californian here. My LGBTQ+ friends have all sorts of bigot stories. Bigots are like worms/maggots. You can find them anywhere.
I'm ashamed that WA isn't higher. I don't know why we put up with the half of the state east of the mountains, they're just our cross to bear.
