Harder for Gay Couples to Find Love in Africa and Asia.

It never really crossed my mind that LGBT couples might not be recognized in other countries of the world. When gay marriage was legalized in 2015 I was really proud of my country. I thought this meant the United States was catching up to the rest of the world. In an article by NBC News, it seems this isn't the case.

A statistic that stood out to me was that "only 19 percent of respondents in Africa and 26 percent in Asia said they approved of same-sex marriage, against 35 percent in the Americas, 41 percent in Europe and 56 percent in Oceania..." While I am excited for the improvements my country has made it would be great to see more acceptance all over the world.
