the USA? you've got to be kidding. we have a president who would be perfectly happy to see gays hang on a rope like saddam. canada and australia are wondrously accepting of gays, but not the US, which has policies where gays with HIV are literally forbidden to enter the borders... no marriage rights... no immigration policies that honor long-term gay partners... we have a long long long way to go...

CANADA!!
The Civil Marriage Act (full title: "An Act respecting certain aspects of legal capacity for marriage for civil purposes") was legislation legalizing same-sex marriage in Canada. It was introduced as Bill C-38 in the first session of the 38th Canadian Parliament on February 1, 2005. It passed the House of Commons on June 28, 2005, and the Senate on July 19, 2005. The Act became law when it received Royal Assent on July 20, 2005. As usual for federal legislation in Canada

Well- for one thing it's NOT America.

I've read Northern Europe is most tolerant- so going along with a large portion of the answers- probably Netherlands and Denmark.

Actually, the USA is near the bottom of the list. SERIOUS. We're down near some African countries on some respects. Even Europe, Canada, Russia and Eastern Europe allow more gay rights than we have. Our turn is coming.

My guess would be the Netherlands only because even though I live in Canada where same-sex marriage is allowed, homosexuality is more tolerated in Holland and has been tolerated for longer.

I don't know about our country giving more rights, but I do know that in South Africa we can get married now. We have the same right as the heterosexual couples. We are also protected against hate crimes as well as discrimination of any sorts.

Canada (yay I can actually get hitched and enjoy the same legal rights as straight couples :) ). Although it was funny and sort of sad that we didn't have a legal way of getting divorced for a while after (I feel sorry for the two women who had to push to get a divorce!).
Cheers,

Many Western European countries have equal rights and protections for members of the GLBT communities.

Denmark or the Netherlands; I believe Netherlands are friendlier but both are like 95% accepting at least

Not the US...that's for sure.
Probably Canada, Holland, Sweden, Germany, or England.
