More than 80 percent of Russians consider gay sex "reprehensible," showing a massive spike in LGBT intolerance over the past two decades, according to a new poll.
A Levada Center survey released Thursday showed that 83 percent of Russians thought gay sex was “always reprehensible” or "almost always reprehensible," with little distinction between the opinions of younger and older generations. Only 8 percent of the 1,600 people polled in Russia's urban and rural areas did not object to same-gender sexual relations.
By comparison, the new poll showed 68 percent opposition to extramarital affairs and 35 percent opposition to abortions. Previous surveys showed that 68 percent of Russians opposed gay sex in 1998, and 76 opposed it in 2008, according to the Moscow Times.
