Google has released data showing which of the world’s countries search for the most gay porn online.

The list is made up of individual Google searches for “gay sex pics” and “gay porn pics” which were made between 2004 and 2014.

Kenya – where men found to have had sex with other men can face between five and 14 years in prison – is top of the internet giant’s rankings, while Nigeria and Pakistan, which both have similar laws criminalising gay sex, rank third and fourth respectively on the list.

South Africa, which became the first African country to legalise gay marriage in 2006 and is one of the most tolerant places on the continent for LGBT people, places second on the list.

Australia, the US and the UK, countries which obviously have a far more tolerant attitude towards their LGBT communities, rank a distant sixth, seventh and eighth respectively on the list.
