It appears like homophobia is, indeed, back on the rise in Western society. According to a 2025 report by Australia’s News.com, one in four men believes that “homosexuality is immoral.”
The report adds that the rise in such toxic ideologies is apparent despite having nearly ten percent of Australians aged 16 to 24 being members of the LGBTQ community.

A similar occurrence seems to be happening in the UK. According to a 2024 report by the BBC, children as young as seven are using homophobic insults in schools.
This was based on a survey of nearly 32,000 students, 4,000 of whom came from primary schools. According to the findings, nearly four out of five primary school students in England spoke homophobic language.

According to the Peter Tatchell Foundation, the resurgence of homophobic views can be attributed to politics. In an early 2025 article, it pointed out how Uganda, for example, enacted its Anti-Homosexuality Act that came with harsh penalties for people in the LGBTQ community.

Likewise, Russia also has its anti-gay laws that ban all forms of expression of LGBT, which includes social media and educational resources. As the foundation pointed out, “It forces activists into silence and eliminates safe spaces for the community.”

However, there is a silver lining to all of this, one of which happened in countries like Poland. The country previously had “LGBT-free” zones spearheaded by the Catholic church, but eventually abolished them in 2025.

The Human Rights Watch sees this recent development in Poland as a step in the right direction.
“The removal of Poland’s last ‘LGBT free’ zone is a reminder of the profound harm such symbolic policies inflict on people’s lives, a lesson that should be heeded across the region and the world,” an excerpt from its report reads.
