(Russia) - Most Russians are clearly intolerant to Gays, signaled the poll of Levada-Center. In terms of moral, homosexuality is unacceptable for 84 percent, only 5 percent of respondents don’t view it as an issue of morality and just 3 percent said it’s quite acceptable, signaled the poll that Levada-Center held in December to clarify the nation’s attitude to the Gays. Of interest is that the number of people with negative attitude to homosexuality is growing in Russia, according to official statistics. In 2006, for instance, only 47 percent condemned Gays and Lesbians. One possible reason is the surge in xenophobia, as the growth in negative attitude to some minorities automatically fuels aggression towards others, the analysts said.
