Dec 21, 2007Quickie Link: Poll Exposes Hungarian Hostility to Gay Relationships
By vanrozenheim
(Hungary) - While the Hungarian parliament passed new laws this week legalising same-sex civil partnerships, an opinion poll for a national newspaper found little support for the measure among the voters. The Nepszabadsag survey found that only 12 percent of Hungarians think same-sex relationships are completely normal. 60 percent condemn homosexuality and 30 percent disapprove of Gay people. The new law will apply to both heterosexual and Gay and Lesbian couples, and there is widespread support for civil partners having the same rights as married couples - 71 percent of respondents agreed in the poll by research firm Masmi.
