Eurobarometer is a regular sociological survey of European Union citizens\u2019 opinion conducted once every four years by the European Commission. According to the latest survey (2023), full legal equality in all areas of life for LGBTQ people is currently supported by a total of 69%, and recognition of same-sex marriage by 72% of EU residents.

However, the results of the survey vary significantly for different EU countries: for example, support for same-sex marriage varies from 94% in the Netherlands and Sweden to 17% in Bulgaria. The general trends, however, are rather positive for the LGBTQ community: support for the rights of LGBTQ people is gradually increasing even in countries that are headed or until recently were headed by openly homo \/ transphobic governments, such as Hungary and Poland \u2014 the propaganda of Russian World\u2019s ideology, under whatever names it is disguised, is not successful in modern Europe.<\/p>\n
It is interesting to compare the views of European Union residents with public opinion in our country, which has already received the status of a candidate to EU and strives to become its full member as soon as possible. According to the latest data of similar regular public opinion polls conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology on behalf of the National Democratic Institute, in November 2023 legal equality for LGBTQ people was generally supported by 72% of Ukrainians (fully \u201441%, rather \u2014 31%), the right to registered civil partnerships for same-sex couples \u2014 59% (fully \u2014 27%, rather \u2014 32%), the right to same-sex marriage \u2014 46% (fully \u2014 23%, rather \u2014 23%).<\/p>\n
It can be stated that Ukrainians quite fit into the modern picture of attitudes towards LGBTQ issues in Eastern Europe, and we are more similar to our western neighbors than to our southern ones. Regular polls by the NDI also demonstrate the impressive dynamics of public opinion change in Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion: from August 2022 to November 2023, support for legal equality for LGBTQ people increased about one and a half times \u2014 from 54% to 72%.<\/p>\n
