Today, over five dozen countries still have laws making same-sex sexual relations illegal. Many of these laws stem from colonial rule.

    I look at this map occasionally: https://www.equaldex.com/equality-index It’s not very nuanced and it gets some minor stuff wrong with my country, but it’s mostly correct.

      Interesting, according to the map, south Asia’s got an inverse progressiveness on gender change vs homosexuality to most of the world.

      In Pakistan, the map says enbies are recognized and gender change is legal with no restrictions like for minors, medical diagnosis, surgery, etc. However, if you have gay sex, you get thrown in prison for up to life.
