I'm from a shitty little country called Croatia. And like everywhere else different parts of country are more or less accepting. The Northern and Western parts are more "liberal", while the Eastern parts and Dalmatian coast tend to be more "conservative". And Catholic Church bashing on LGBT community all the time, when 90% of country is Catholic isn't really halping with acceptance.

Bright side is that all types of discrimination are banned in Croatia, and country currenly recognizes "unregistered cohabitation" which grants some rights to gay couples. This is about to change this year with a new bill  which is supposed to introduce civil unions (they'll probably be called life partnerships) with full rights equal to those of a married couples. The bill was already supposed to be introduced to parliament, but I'm assuming that they are waiting for EU elections and local elections to pass, before they send this to parliament. Since liberals have the complete majority and the bill is their idea and part of the program that got them elected in 1st place, it will pass.

Wow, that is great progress for Croatia!   I'm hoping Frace, UK, Ireland, and a few more states will have Same Sex Marriage by the end of the year. 

Heck it is even remotely possible that the whole country will, with the Supreme Court Prop 8 case, but I don't think they are that brave or strong.
