Head, meet desk
One in four Aussies don't want gay neighbours and it appears that among a variety of forms of prejudice, homophobia is the most prevalent bigotry. Article here.
The figures of those who don't want gay neighbours are less than stellar for other countries: Austria (26.7 per cent), Greece (26.8), the Republic of Ireland (27.5) Italy (28.7) and Portugal (25.6). And Northern Ireland came out on top, with 36 per cent saying they did not want gay neighbours.
Professor John Manga's research has been published recently in the international economics journal, Kyklos. The paper, entitled Love Thy Neighbour: How Much Bigotry is there is Western Countries, was co-authored by Professor Vani Borooah (Vani Borooah) of the University of Ulster. I'll have to get a copy from the uni library site tomorrow.
ETA: I checked. The issue isn't online yet.
