So I have kind of noticed that between Canada, America, Britain and Austrailia, there seems to be more gay or bisexual kids more out in a certain place. Being a native aussie I feel like bisexuality is more easier than being one in the states. So what are your guys sexuality where are you from and what do you all think?

I'm a lesbian, in England and we're not that bad in terms of like homophobia and such. More approving than other places, that's for sure.

In Ireland, there aren't any real homophobic things going on, though the main cities are certainly more accepting than the peripheral towns.

In the good'ol Aussieland they're really laid back from what I've seen on my travels there, that might be a reasonable factor as to why.
I'm from the UK and gay but I'm not out.

A lot of jokes and nicknames are still centered on being a 'faggot'. A lot of prejudice upon the transgendered as well. Brazil is progressing, but isn't the best haven for anything other than cisgendered heterosexuals.

In Portugal, people are slowly becoming more open minded, but there are still some stupid jokes and comments you can hear sometimes. Gay marriage was approved in 2010, and now the government was about to launch a referendum about adoption by gay couples, but it was denied by the President.

I live in the states and I would say where I live would be that 40-60% of people have a problem with it.

I live in the USA and don't know any gay or bisexual people personally. There are a few openly gay people in school and I've never heard of them being bothered or bullied about it.

Im bi, living in the good old U.S.A and in the area that I live no one really treats gays as any one spatial or different.

Gay in Ireland, Other than dumb kids making remarks to try and seem funny, I have never had a problem with it. I would say the very large majority of people here have no problem with Homo's, but it is certainly more so in cities rather that some of the small rural communities. I definitely not consider Ireland a homophobic country at all :)

I think that the same amount of people are gay, just in certain places less people come out

I'm heteroflexible - so cuddling, kissing and hugging boys is no concern of mine.
I think that I'm well accepted here in Denmark. Many of my mates are not at all homo- or bisexual, yet seem ok with me kissing, fighting and tickling with them. Germany and Denmark generally have very well-functioning LGBT communities, so there's almost no issue here. Fun fact; I'm even going to an official wedding in a month's time between my cousin and his boyfriend, where my whole family is going to participate. No old traditions in the way of that ritual.

I'm from Birmingham. Homophobia is a problem in schools, but not the community.

i live in china and i can say that basically if you're not straight, you're in the closet. coming out is unheard of and there is almost no mention of lgbt anywhere, especially in schools.
obviously, a lot of other issues are also not mentioned anywhere, so it might not be because people aren't aware of this.

I'm gay and from Texas. Even though I'm still in the closet, I can tell you that homosexuality is not really very accepted here.
Except in Austin! I wish I lived in Austin...

I'm Bi and who you are sexually is very tolerant in the state I live in even to the point that transgender individuals now have the choice as to which restrooms to use in the public schools.

Well I go University in England and everyone I meet are very liberal which is good. I'm studying in The Netherlands too, which is one of the most liberal countries in the world.
I think it does greatly differ from country to country and the social environment you find yourself in.

Poland is, rather unfortunately, filled to the brim with far-right nutjobs who would, if given the chance, set on fire anything remotely different from them - and that includes gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. Even in Warsaw, homophobia is rampant.
