The highest volume of searches for gay porn in Pakistan came from the conservative city of Peshawar

Pakistan has the highest volume of internet searches for gay pornography despite being one of the least tolerant countries when it comes to homosexuality.

The most searches for terms related to same-sex acts came from a conservative stronghold, the city of Peshawar, rather than major cosmopolitan cities such as Lahore and Karachi, according to analysis of Google trends by Mother Jones.

Pakistan was given a rating of 100 by the search engine for having the highest search traffic for the pornography terms.

Gay sex is illegal in the Islamic country and carries a sentence of two to ten years in prison if caught.

This week, the Pew Research Center revealed figures for the places that are most intolerant of homosexuality from a survey of 39 countries.

Only two per cent of Pakistanis surveyed said 'yes' to the question: 'Should society accept homosexuality?'

Other countries who showed a low tolerance for homosexuality included Nigeria, with 1 per cent approval, Tunisia at 2 per cent, while Ghana, Senegal, Egypt, Jordan and Indonesia showed only 3 per cent approval.

Spain showed the highest acceptance of homosexuality at 88 per cent, followed by Germany at 87 per cent, the Czech Republic and Canada at 80 per cent, Australia at 79 per cent, France at 77 per cent and Britain at 76 per cent.


Global acceptance of homosexuality

One expert on Pakistani minorities told Mother Jones that highly observant Muslim men are known to have physical relationships with other men - but do not consider themselves gay.

'The real love they can have that most of us find with a partner, they find with men,' said former Pakistani politician Farahnaz Ispahani, now at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

'They mostly see their wives as the mother of their children.'

She said an increase in religious extremism could explain the popularity of gay porn.

'Hindus are being forced to convert, Christians are being burned alive - there's very little personal safety for those seen as "the other". So what do [gay Pakistanis] do? They turn to pornography because they can't live their lives openly.'

Is this useful to "study" this?

Some people really have time

Good on Google. A bit of international embarrassment to expose their hypocrisy wouldn't do any harm.

It's not a study. Google already have all the stats It's readily available for them by the number of search

I usually "bing" things with my penis, but to each their own.
And it's sad that the US is so behind on this. Like we're behind MEXICO!!! No offense to Mexicans but it seems sad to be less tolerant of homosexuality than a country that is over 3/4 catholic.

I'm wondering what makes USA's gay tolerance much lower than all the other English speaking developed countries like Canada, Australia and UK? You guys are so behind your 3 brothers...

It's those damn republicans...
Actually though, I'm not sure. The two places that I spend most of my time (NYC and college) aren't very homophobic. But there's a lot of homophobia especially in the south. Although the fact that gay marriage still isn't a thing in more states shows that even in places that may seem gay friendly there are a lot of people who don't like it.

Then again the US is usually behind on a lot of things. Slavery was around for a while longer than in the UK, and lots more open racism and general douchebaggery. Not always proud to be American.

While the survey is amusing to some, it's saddening that so many people in those nations will have to live the entirety of their lives in repression and denial due to the intolerance of the society they were brought up in

And it's clear why the US is so behind on this. Such a large country with so many different culture divisions... If the US were divided into separate nations() like Europe we'd essentially see the New England states, New York, New Jersey, California etc resembling Western Europe in terms of acceptance, with parts of the midwest/south especially around Mississippi/Louisiana probably being close to Lebanon and China tbh

Incidentally IIRC there is a similar trend within the US itself. The states with the highest searches of gay porn weren't "gay friendly" states like NY/CA, they were ones like Kentucky/Kansas/Arizona I think

I knew there was a reason why all those southern boys were freaks in bed.

idk if i even fully trust google this might be a highly biased analysis done to screw with countries with tough regulatory hurdles for them.
