New Zealand has its problems like any other country, but it also has a nice level of tolerance. Yes! It did once incur the anger of Uncle Sam for refusing to let nuclear powered warships usse NZ harbours, but I think Uncle Sam managed to cope with that.
Perhaps nothing else demonstrates the tolerance of the country as the big margin (in the house vote) by which gay marriage became law.
Hope these can be seen in other countries:

and this one shows the Parliament and the public gallery singing a maori love song, after the bill passed. The article is written from an aussie viewpoint. Polling in Australia consistently shows a majority in favour of permitting same-sex marriage:
( I think you will have to open the article, and then start the video),
The words of the song are translated as -
My poor pen is broken, my paper is spent
But my love for you endures, and remains forever more.
Oh my beloved, come back to me, my heart is breaking of love for you.
