What do you think the maps would look like if France, Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy, Canada etc were to have referendums on SSM?

In 2015, this was what the states of America thought of the issue. Since then, SSM support has been increased by seven percent.

http://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage/

Assuming (obviously this is crude) that all states see a boost of seven percent in their approval of SSM, then the states with lowest approvals would be Mississippi and Alabama (39% approval), Arkansas (43%), West Virginia (44%), Tennessee and South Carolina (46%), Kentucky (47%), Wyoming (48%),  Louisiana (49%), Utah (50%), Georgia, North Carolina and South Dakota (51%) and Missouri, Oklahoma, Montana and Indiana (54%).

I wonder if there would be any Hillary/Anti-SSM counties.

Aren't there relatively many Bosnian and Albanian Muslims in Switzerland? Probably more likely to be more secular and supportive of LGBT rights than Muslims from Northern Africa or the Middle East.

That is what I was thinking, mind you there are many examples of Muslims from fairly conservative countries who support gay marriage.  London's current mayor Sadiq Khan voted in favour of gay marriage.  In the German Bundestag all Muslim members voted in favour of gay marriage and in France I believe some did and in the UK I believe most of its Muslim MPs voted for gay marriage.  People adopt to where they live, especially if they were born and raised there.  I've often found in general children of immigrants tend to have values more in line of the country they live in than where their parents came from.

This is variable, especially in the case of Muslim migrants whose children tend to veer off in either extreme (i.e. become a secular cultural Muslim or else become some sort of Salafi). The MPs in this case are, err, not hugely representative of the community

In Britain in particular, you'd probably have huge losses for SSM in Deobandi Pakistani as well as in Bengal communities, but probably more of a mixed results amongst Turks, Bosniaks and Kurds.
