Uhm this is odd, I don't know about South America but Europe? Here in Sweden LGBT people are even allowed to marry in church before their god http://www.upi.com/Top_News/International/2009/10/22/Church-...

I think the key phrase in that sentence is "conservative countries". Much of Eastern Europe still doesn't permit gay marriage, for example. Here's a good map: http://www.freedomtomarry.org/landscape/entry/c/internationa...

Europe is more diverse than people make it out to be. Plenty of European countries are very hostile to gays....
