Despite sexual orientation not being classified as a mental disorder, homosexual behavior remains the object of discrimination by society. Many people in the world consider it deviant behavior. Even though homosexuality is legal in several Southeast Asian countries, community discrimination toward homosexuals has grown. This study investigates how socio-demographic conditions can explain the rejection of homosexual behavior in seven countries in Southeast Asia. In this study, we use cross-sectional World Value Survey wave 7 data. Using a multivariate logit regression model, we found that most people in Southeast Asia reject homosexual behavior. Also, they believe homosexuals will not become a good parent. Most of the society refuses to socialize and live side by side with a homosexual in their home environment as neighbors. Furthermore, we also found that people are more likely to accept homosexual behavior when they get older. People with a higher level of religiosity, male and married people, have a negative correlation with homosexual behavior, which means they tend to reject the existence of homosexuality. Meanwhile, those who live in urban areas, have daily internet access, and are happier tend to accept homosexual behavior.
尽管性取向不被归类为精神障碍，但同性恋行为仍然是社会歧视的对象。世界上许多人认为这是一种异常行为。尽管同性恋在一些东南亚国家是合法的，但针对同性恋者的社区歧视有所增加。本研究调查了社会人口状况如何能够解释东南亚七个国家对同性恋行为的排斥。在这项研究中，我们使用了横断面世界价值观调查第 7 波数据。使用多元逻辑回归模型，我们发现大多数东南亚人拒绝同性恋行为。此外，他们认为同性恋者不会成为一个好父母。大多数社会拒绝在家庭环境中与同性恋者社交和比邻而居。此外，我们还发现，人们随着年龄的增长越有可能接受同性恋行为。宗教信仰程度较高、男性和已婚人士与同性恋行为呈负相关，这意味着他们倾向于排斥同性恋的存在。另一方面，那些生活在城市地区、每天上网和更快乐的人更倾向于接受同性恋行为。
