        And this is just the legal status, as in, is it criminal to be in a homosexual relationship. Not do LGBT+ have rights, are there anti discrimination laws, are advocacy groups allowed. And certainly not how LGBT+ folks are treated in society.

          Are you really saying it is safer to be queer in all of those African and Middle Eastern countries than it is in the U.S.? Really?

            No. I’m pointing out that all the green countries aren’t equal. Like some allow gay marriage and some do not. Some allow legal discrimination against LGBT+ folks and some do not.

            Mostly I was surprised to see Russia as green and had to look up why.
