South Africans Think Homosexuality is Wrong

More than 80 percent of South Africa’s population regards homosexuality as wrong. This is according to the Social Attitudes Survey in South Africa conducted by researchers at the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC).

Despite the fact that South Africa's legal system recognises gay marriages and the Constitution guarantees equal rights to all, the survey shows widespread negative attitudes towards lesbians and gay men.

The survey was aimed at establishing whether people had become socially more tolerant of homosexuality between 2003 and 2007, as the law and the Constitution granted greater recognition of and protection to more groups.
