The survey indicates that 82% of people in the Netherlands, 71% in Sweden and 69% in Denmark favor same-sex marriage, while at the opposite pole there is Cyprus with 14% and Romania with 11%.

Discrimination, bullying, harassment and attacks occur across the European Union, while the ability of victims to report crimes is undermined by lack of police training, leading to significant underreporting, according to a 160-page report on the social aspects of homophobia from the EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency.

For instance, while in the Netherlands 91% of the population feels comfortable with having a homosexual as a neighbor, in Romania only 36% of people are of the same opinion.
