As far as picking between the three countries as to which are the most tolerant towards GLBT people. I wouldn't even put the US in the Top Ten, let alone the Top Three. I realize I'm breaking the rules slightly by making my own list, but it's better you get an educated opinion.

1) The Netherlands
---They were the first to enact laws to protect GLBT people, including same-sex marriage, so they deserve the top spot.

2) Belgium
---The second to legalize same-sex marriage, so the second on my list.

3) Canada
---Though Spain just squeaked by us as far as making same-sex marraige legal, we legalized homosexuality in 1969.

4) Spain
---Another European country that went down the raod of tolerance and legalized same-sex marriage.

5) The UK and South Africa
---I declared the two countries a tie for two reasons. First of all, while the UK is quite tolerant of GLBT people, they declared Section 22 legal from 1989 to 2003 which prohibited the promotion of homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle. They also wussed out on calling their civil partnerships same-sex marriage even though partnerships in the UK give exactly the same amount of priveledges as marriage. While South Africa was the first country in the continent that legalized same-sex marriage, it's only in major cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg that GLBT people are tolerated.

USA....forget about it...unless you happen to be already resident in one of the very few states that has some gay rights. Even then, those rights do not extend to the entire country.

Canada is good from what i hear, gay/lesbian people can get married, adopt kids and generally have the same rights as straight people. My partner and I are thinking of moving there to be closer to her family (they live in the US)

UK is good too..You can have a Civil Partnership (which is exactly like marriage but with a different name). You can adopt kids and you get all the same benefits that heterosexual couples get. You could probably change your name legally by deed poll, and then get hitched using that name, although you would have to declare that you have changed your name when it comes time to get hitched.
Hope this helps :-)

this might properly be an consumer-friendly one - the united kingdom may be the terrific concept. there is so lots extra possibility of having jobs interior the united kingdom than the U. S. on the 2d (even in spite of the undeniable fact that the two have truly severe unemployment figures). interior the rustic, there is likewise a variety of of christian fundamentalists who does not have a project status interior the line screaming and waving placards which you're a pervert and abomination who desires to "burn interior the fires of hell" or another non secular clap-catch. (for one among those present day united states, they show some truly medieval behaviour). while interior the united kingdom, those fundamentalists may be in court docket speedier than thunder for inciting hatred in line with sexual orientation. Europe as an entire is so lots extra tolerant, liberal and different than maximum area's of the rustic. maximum human beings will possibly not truly care which you're gay interior the united kingdom, or in the event that they did they in all probability does not annoy you except you have been in some truly tough, backward city that no one has ever pay attention of. evaluations have replaced interior the previous two decades, and the final public of human beings are extra modernised and purely get on with existence leaving human beings to their very very own existence's in private and tolerance. there is often the peculiar illiberal man or woman lurking approximately, yet as an entire that's ten situations extra advantageous than some area's of the U. S., especially the 'Anti-gay, Anti-Semitic, Anti-Black, Anti-Muslim, Anti-women human beings's Rights, Anti-Mexican, Anti-this, Anti-that' deep south. Canada is actual different while you're searching for a entire replace. they have lots extra comfortable immigration, stable anti-hatred regulations to guard the LGBT community and their everybody is a lot extra laid lower back and tolerant.

I cannot speak for the U.K. or Canada as I live in the States and am not gay. However my view is any "rights" they may have are pretty useless as the intolerance and stupidity in this country concerning gays negates any legal substance to these "rights".
