@sammo3182: attitudes towards homosexuality is a key post-material attitude and therefore is evidence of the extent of modernization of countries (per Inglehart et al.). Even those who are not super-interested in the exact topic should be interested on these grounds, i.e., human flourishing per Welzel. See also the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (or other IO output) regarding human rights and similar.

notes We should be explicit about what questions we are including to create latent variable. For instance, Table 1 in Public Attitudes toward Homosexuality and Gay Rights across Time and Countries there are more questions we are not including in the data -- because 'assessment of situation' and 'attitude' are different.

Encarnación, O. G. (2022). Latin America's Abortion Rights Breakthrough. Journal of Democracy, 33(4), 89-103. abstract: In recent years, Latin America has experienced an abortion-rights breakthrough that stands in striking contrast to the wave of criminalization of abortion afoot in the United States. It also ended some of the world's most draconian abortion bans. At the root of this breakthrough is the framing of abortion not as an issue of personal choice but as a human-rights matter. This strategy, borrowed from previous campaigns for equality and justice in Latin America—especially the struggle for same-sex marriage—capitalized on the resonance of human rights in Latin American politics and society in the postauthoritarian era.
