  2. Why use two almost indistinguishable shades of green? More colors exist….

    Edit: I’m not color blind, I can see they’re different. A better practice when making a chart is to use more distinct colors. Green vs purple is more clear than green vs slightly lighter green.

  4. Why is it in most of these maps that there is allegedly no data for Greenland? An under one minute Google search brings up the passing of same-sex marriage legislation in 2016…

  6. Thank you Liberal Party of Canada for making our country one of the most LGBT friendly places in the world

  7. Nepal is the only one marked “ambiguous” I think.

    They had a supreme Court ruling, just like Taiwan, that directed the legislature to legalize it. I guess they haven’t done so yet. Taiwan did, but gay spouses still don’t have the same privileges given to straight spouses.

  9. Is gay marriage ok?

    Groenland: no comments

    Is adoption ok for gays?

    Groenland: no comments

    Is it ok to be trans?

    Groenland: no comments

  11. South Africa may have it all legalized but the reality is outside of some very small pockets of the country, the discrimination against LGBT people is very real.

  12. It’s crazy how bombing people to oblivion and raping and pillaging for resources leaving them generationally traumatized and impoverished impacts a society’s ability to progress

    Who woulda thought?

  13. This is not beautiful. The colors are very close to each other.

  14. What does “Ambiguous” mean in graphs 1, 3 and 4?

    Also.. what’s up with Italy? stick outs like a sore thumb in almost every graph?

  15. O BRASIL É O MELHOR PAÍS NOVAMENTE 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

  16. Unfortunately the USA might not remain blue much longer if the conservatives in SCOTUS get their way.

  19. Here is a perspective from a Venezuelan.

    It’s immensely frustrating whenever I read American leftists defend the dictatorship of our country simply because they claim to be socialists, and the US doesn’t like them. And part of the frustration is that they tend to be painted as the good guys who are poor victims of the US, when it couldn’t be further from the truth.

    American leftists seem to be under the impression that the Venezuelan dictatorship is a progressive socialist government that only struggles because the US bullies them. When in reality, they are defending a totalitarian military oligarchy with conservative practices. And this chart illustrates that.

    LGBT rights do not exist in Venezuela, and not only have Chavez and Maduro never made an attempt to improve that, but they also often used and still use homophobic remarks to attack their political opponents. This is not a progressive government. Leftist movements born from Guerrillas are not inherently an inclusive and benevolent group. And the mistreatment of the LGBT community in Venezuela is not something you can blame on the US sanctions, which is always the excuse used whenever we Venezuelans want to call out the violations of our dictators.

    The Chavista movement has always been a populist military dictatorship whose tactics of hatred, corruption, and their speeches are more similar to Trump’s America than American leftists and conservatives want to admit or even care to look up.

    Venezuela is not the little socialist country that tried but was bullied into failing, like foreign tankies claim, like Hasan Piker, and especially Alan Macleod, who has profited from being a Maduro propagandist.

  20. I wonder what is going on at New Zeland, I took them for even better Australians, ¿isn’t it?

  21. Last year the Czech Constitutional Court ruled that requiring surgery for the gender marker change is unconstitutional so the law has until the end of June this year to change, thankfully.

  22. What’s the difference/meaning of second parent and individual adoption? Are they saying only singles can adopt?

  23. yooo, my country mention 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 (help)

  24. What the fuck is going on in the middle east? well over half of the arab men I know are gay, and that’s why I figured that arab nations allowed polygamy.

  25. LGBT rights were drastically reduced in Russia in a few years. People could officially change gender in passport before the Ukrainian war and now you can be accused of a crime for wearing a rainbow pin

  26. Wait, same sex marriage is banned in Japan? Don’t they have people marrying computer programs and anime “waifus” there? I am not judging anything, but the illegal one seems far less extreme to me.

  28. I hate this type of maps. Same-sex marriages aren’t banned in Ukraine, just not recognised. You can live together with no issues, you just can’t register any kind of union and have your relationships officially recognised. I wouldn’t be so angry if “Unrecognised” wasn’t its own category.

  29. The decriminalization of homosexuality in India (2018) and China (1997) is rightly hailed as one of the most important developments in human rights during the last several decades.

  30. I feel like this could also be an intelligence indicator or something. I mean, you have to be pretty fucking stupid to give a shit about other people’s genders if you’re not trying to have sex with them. .

  31. I was in Peru last year to hike Machu Picchu and there were rainbow flags everywhere. The whole time I thought the country was super progressive on same sex marriage. Only later did I found out it was the flag for one of the main political parties and same sex marriage is actually illegal.

  32. It’s a poor choice of categories. There are different degrees of banning. There is a huge difference between the death penalty for gay relationships like in Iran and simple absence of recognition of same sex relationships like in Ukraine

  33. The UK and US both being blue on the equality index has me questioning the validity of everything else on here lol

  34. I wanna live in a country where same sex marriage is legal ☹️

  35. South America is way bluer than I thought it’d be. Europe isn’t as blue as I thought it would be. South Africa is surprising.

  36. Turkey manages to be the middle point in everything somehow.

    It also reflects our current situation where the country is divided 50-50% every election and on every social topic.

  37. I am surprised that civil unions or other partnerships are legal in mainland China but not in Japan.

  38. Isnt china officially atheist? So how is marriage and civili union distinguished?

  39. There is an error at least I am afraid.

    French Guyana has the laws of France – it is part of France without any difference aside from that it is in South America but the same laws and rights apply.

    (Not applying it would be the same as differentiating Alaska and Hawaii to the rest of the US)

  40. Lithuania actually legalised same sex marriage a month ago 🎉

  41. I wonder if there is data on enforcement of criminal laws. I know there are some African countries where it is illegal, but not much to indicate its generally enforced. Would help to distringish the scale of how illegal it is in those countries.

    i imagine there are at least some countries where it’s technically illegal, but few are afraid of actual persecution.

  42. The civil union and “only foreign marriages” are far far too close in color.

  43. I’m surprised same sex acts are legal in north Korea? Although i doubt anybody has actually tried it.

  44. Japan not allowing homosexual marriages in the XXI century absolutely stupid

  46. I don’t know why but I had no idea you could get civil unions in China.

  47. Huh that’s so weird, what’s that one green spot where civil unions are permitted in the entire middle east?

  49. lol Mexico being more progressive than Switzerland on this matter is hilarious
