Support for LGBT+ rights soaring in the Czech Republic with two-thirds backing marriage equality

Support for marriage equality in the Czech Republic is soaring, with around two-thirds of the public backing same-sex marriage, a new poll published Thursday showed.

In results that researchers branded as “encouraging”, a MEDIAN agency survey showed that the majority of Czech citizens support LGBT+ rights.

This comes after a bill to legalise same-marriage was introduced to the Chamber of Deputies – the country’s lower house – in 2018.

Despite attempts to stonewall the legislation, the Government announced its support for the bill.
