  • 'It's not a decision he makes': This woman, from Australia, was among 17 people who were asked, 'What would you do if your child was gay?', as part of a video study on global attitudes toward homosexuality

  • 'I'd support them': The third interviewee, an Australian man (left) in his thirties, said: 'I don't have a problem with that so I think i would just try to find out how my kid was feeling about that and support my child'
