While overall Asia has one of the lowest societal acceptances of homosexuality, this trend will eventually be reversed. In both Japan and China, the percentage of the population accepting homosexuality more than doubled when comparing young people to those over 50. Israel was the only country where more of those 30-49 than young adults supported acceptance (+4%).
