32% of moldovans thinking that LGBT people should carry a prison sentence.<\/h1><\/div>

LGBT people are by far the least accepted minority group in Moldova, with only 18% willing to accept them as citizens and only 1% as family members.<\/p>\n

According to a 2015 survey, 83% do not accept LGBT people as a general attitude, 80% think they should not be allowed to organize public events or appear in the media, 66% say they should be treated or institutionalized, 57% think homosexuality should be punished in some way, with 32% of those thinking it should carry a prison sentence. Not surprisingly, only 7% of respondents said they actually know a gay or a lesbian.<\/p>\n

Reported acceptance has actually declined since 2010, possibly due to the very vocal and hostile reaction of the Church to anti-discrimination legislation drafted and adopted during that time.<\/p>\n

The numbers are only slightly better in the capital city, and positively correlate with education and socioeconomic status. Ethnic and religious minorities tended to be less accepting of LGBT people.<\/p>\n
