Maybe we could get a thread split?
And it's not even split by age like many progressing countries.
For example, in South Korea of those over 50+ only 16% believe that homosexuality should be acceptable. A pitiful number. But 71% of 18-29 year old South Koreans believe that it should be. You can see a clear shift for the better in a lot of places that were relatively recently less tolerant.
But Russia is different. Only 21% of 18-29 year olds, as of the Pew 2013 research, believe it should be acceptable. Even compared to China's 32% of the same age group it's significantly less. And really there's been more vocal anti-LGBT sentiment in Russia since 2013.

From the Moscow Times:
3% of Russian respondents said LGBT people should be able to bring up children.
8% of Russian respondents believed that gay marriage should be legal. A drop from 14% in 2005.
41% of Russian respondents believed that homosexuals should be persecuted by the police.

In another poll:
Quote:

21 percent of people want to see LGBT people "liquidated," and another 37 percent advocate separating them from society, the poll found.

More than half of the Russians who took the poll wanted to remove LGBT from society, 21% wanted to 'liquidate" them in 2015, up significantly from a 2013 poll by the Levada Center. Which of course has been labelled as a spy and foreign agent because it's been posting polls that Putin isn't quite as beloved as other polls say despite being founded as a Russian independent research organization.
