@AlexisB:
My personal opinion and observation in the Philippines, even though the country is predominantly Catholic and it is considered immoral to be gay, its really not as issue to be gay in there. I guess the low satisfaction rating stated for the country is because they can't find a partner and not really living a gay person. Its really rare in the Philippines to have issues like what the western countries have, like bullying, suicide, attacks, bashing, killing, abandoning by the family. Of course there are situations, but not like what I've heard from the news. That is why as a Filipino, i find it very disturbing to see gay news about attacks in western countries, and I am not talking about countries where homosexuality is a crimes, I am talking about countries where gay marriage is legal and yet the country as a whole has a lot of sad/disturbing news in the community.
:true: Come to think of it, religious sect here are more tolerant towards gays, I still yet to hear news that a priest or a pastor rant about homosexual in their sermons here in our country. As of now, our gov't is more on drug trafficking preventive measures. Foreigners may find this hard to believe but gay/gay relationship here is just catching up, Some may disagree with me but most gay here still opt for straight guys. So if the questions in the survey includes gay marriage, then our country is not one of the best country to be gay, but for overall acceptance and tolerance, very minimum (isolated) gay bashing and gay hate killings, then yes, our country is a good place for being gay
