I was talking this with a friend and we were checking where homosexuality is criminalized and we realized there is a correlation with muslim countries.

    In most Muslim countries, religious law is THE law. There is no separation of church and state.

    This map is blatantly wrong. It focuses on a small part of lgbt discriminations. And it is at least outdated.

    Right now Russia is hard against lgbt and Italy is doing stuff as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if things were bad in several east Europe countries (Poland, Hungary…)

    And in many countries if it’s not an actual crime to be lgbt there are many discriminations.

    This map is mere racist shit.

      Although its true that there is discrimination on every country, there is a big difference between discrimination by people and being persecuted by authorites. Currently in Russia there is no law that criminalizes homosexuality, altough there are restrictions of expressions. (See map below).

      Im sorry that you think this is “racist shit”, but it is important to be aware of what countries are against homosexuality and what countries are not and see what the reason behind is. If you have sources that contribute to this, by all means post them here.

        Arresting people for dissemination of any information to children regarding homosexuality is criminalising homosexuality. You can be arrested for saying, “It’s ok to be gay”, or “I’m gay and I’m normal”. That is outright criminalisation of homosexuality.

            Of course I do. When did I suggest I didn’t? You’re arguing in bad faith to apologise for Russia. Why are you doing this?

              When did I suggest to apologise for Russia? or that I think they have a free pass to be homophobic? Do you think I am also not against all the shit thats hapenning in Russia?
