LGBT conservatism refers to a socio-political movement which embraces and promotes the ideology of conservatism within an LGBT context. Gay conservatives may also refer to lesbian or gay persons with socially and economically conservative political views. The number of openly LGBT advocates for conservative policies has only become increasingly apparent since the advent of the modern LGBT civil rights movement in the 1970s while many more LGBT conservatives remain closeted in countries where other socially conservative politicians have led the most organized opposition to LGBT rights efforts as well as the backlash from liberal and left-leaning LGBT social activists. The situation and ideology for LGBT conservatives varies by each country's social and political LGBT rights climate(for example in sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe/Caucasus, parts of Central and South America, Caribbean, West Europe, South-East Asia, Arab countries, India, USA). There are LGBT people who believe in economical conservativism and there are LGBT people who believe in Social Conservatism and they don't accept LGBT rights.
