Despite a recent surge in homophobia and differences between countries, Europe on the whole remains the most gay-friendly continent on the globe.
Nowhere on the old continent—except in Turkish-controlled north Cyprus—is homosexuality illegal, "making Europe a region that stands out," according to ILGA, a global umbrella organization for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi- and transexual people's) rights, in a report released last month.

That’s what Luka Magnotta thought.
