全球同性恋幸福指数排行：冰岛第1中国63

 　　Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are still officially considered criminals in roughly one-third of countries worldwide, and homosexuality is punishable by death in seven countries. But other places, such as northern Europe, are very accepting of homosexuality.

　　全球大约有1/3的国家仍将女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性视为犯罪行为。有7个国家允许对同性恋者判处死刑。不过在另一些地区，例如北欧，对同性恋者的接受程度却非常之高。

　　Unsurprisingly, a new survey shows that gay men are happiest in those welcoming locations. Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz in Germany to carry out an online survey of 115,000 gay men around the world. They combined rankings on public opinion, public behavior and life satisfaction – how gay men feel about society’s view on homosexuality, how gay men feel they are treated by other people, and how satisfied gay men are with their own lives, respectively – into one worldwide ranking on gay happiness.

　　可以料想，在那些对同性恋者接受程度高的地区，同性恋者的幸福指数也是最高的。德国的美因茨约翰尼斯·古腾堡大学大学对全球11万5千名同性恋者发起了一项在线调查。研究者综合考察了若干种数据，如社会舆论观点——同性恋者心中公众对待他们的舆论态度，公众行为方式——同性恋者心目中公众是如何对待他们的，以及生活满意程度——同性恋者对自己生活是否满意，然后就各种数据的总和结果进行了全球性的排比。
