right... i understand that the relationship wouldn't necessarily be linear, but there would be some relationship, no? what he's saying is the stats are more or less the same in european countries which have a very different cultural attitude towards gays than america. which is surprising, if there is any relationship at all. yes the gay kid with the homophobic dad scenario can still pop up in the more progressive countries, but if anything you'd expect that scenario would at the very least be more common in less progressive countries/regions.
btw he might just be bull****ting about the stats for all i know. he's basically an online troll. that's why i brought it up here cause i figured someone who cares more about this topic might be more up on the stats than i am.
