According to the study "Church and State in the Republic of Moldova" presented by the Soros Foundation - Moldova in 2016, 84% of Moldovans would not accept homosexuals living in Moldova, 89% would not accept that they live in the same locality, 94% would not accept to have them as neighbors, 95% would not accept being friends and 97% would not want gay family members. The same study revealed that only 5% of Moldovans agreed with same-sex marriages and 6% with civil partnerships. These observations showed that Moldovan society is conservative, and with little willingness to accept minorities.
