This, basically.

I'm from a wealthy Eastern European country (though a North-Eastern one) and the prejudices that stand in the way of LBGT+ rights, or gender equality, or the racism in society, they're not exactly radically different from Western European issues. And from my discussions with friends from Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, it seems that they've got similar issues in their politics, sometimes even more extreme (google Jobbik party in Hungary to get a taste of what's going on in their politics).

What I do know from experience is that culture and history or even language are really convenient derailing tools. Many a time I've tried to discuss sexism in my own society with a fellow Finn and they have defensively brought up historical facts which seemingly prove Finland is and has always been gender-equal/neutral.

I'm not saying that's what the OP has been engaged in, and certainly in nuanced conversations you will cultural differences between stereotypes (for example, you can argue that the housewife institution that was big with middle class white American women in the 50's and early 60's, was never an ideal Finnish women struggled to fulfill). But there's more similarities between societies when it comes to social justice issues than differences, to be honest.
