Acceptance of homosexuality vs. GDP per capita

The Pew Research Center global a survey about homosexuality last year. They asked the question "Should society accept homosexuality?"* I substracted the no's from the yes' to calculate what I call the acceptance rate.

I compared that acceptance rate to GDP per capita and found some interesting results. I'll let you make your own conclusions.

The chart was made in Numbers.

* It is important to note that this is not a survey about particular gay rights like same sex marriage, it is simply asking whether we should accept homosexuality or not.
