That's exactly why I said Greece in opinion surveys on moral issues (LGBT+, race, religion etc.) look much closer to Eastern European countries that are not exactly beacons of progressivism and forward thinking today, like Hungary and Poland. Of course, as you say, things may change rapidly in such highly controversial and divisive issues, given the proper social and cultural incentives, but I'm talking about what I can see right now. Given that Greece was closer to the Western capitalist world for a longer time and became much wealthier than most of the Balkans at an earlier time, I had expected a different scenario. Or maybe, as Angela also suggested, they are just less trained to be politically correct and more sincere about what they really think instead of answering what they know is the socially admired thing to say/do.
I Think is tottal different aproach as concern Greeks.
Greeks may be offencive by words even to other Greeks from other parts etc etc,
But Greeks do not attack easily others, especially foreigns,
in a country that has about 8,5 M Greeks, and 1,5 M migrants (Coming back Greeks, foreign workers, refuggees etc,)
and accepts about 25 to 30 M tourists what can you expect?
Greeks are drinking, but have you seen foreign tourists Drinking?
Greeks have sex, but have you seen tourists party?
etc etc,
I do not think that Greeks are so proud with their culture the same way as Hungary or Poland, they have attacking stance on that,
Greeks are proud for their culture rather as a defencive stance against what tourism imports,
it is tottaly different thing to consider your shelf superior as attacking stance, to save or provide your identity
than having a defencive stance to save or provide your identity
As for LGBT-QRSTWZ etc, have you been somewhere on vacations and 'been attacked' (seduce efforts) massively by them,
about 80% of modern straight Greeks do not care on what you do at your bed, meaning if you Lesbo, Gay, Trans etc
but 90% get angry even attack when an LGBT have stupid social behavour.
It is part of our neo-Greek culture,
be what ever you like at your bed, but at work, social gatherings, public places etc behave normal.
we are a nation that is dying, but proud we go,
Greeks hate globalization, yet they accepted it as nessecairy 'evil'.
just think. living at a country, that accepts 3 times the population as tourism, (with whatever their desires are)
and at least 1/6 to 1/5 is a first or second generation migrants.
I have been to an island, where Greeks were speaking to me in English German and a Balkan language,
