This map is terribly wrong for some parts of the ex-USSR and Asia.
Coming out as a gay person in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan or Azerbaijan is dangerous. Dangerous as in "there is a high chance you'll be beaten up and a mild chance of being kidnapped and killed".
From the other side, Russia is not that bad. Not bad means "you can see gay people kissing on the streets without repercussions" (in the European part of the country).
Syria? Oman? Just no comments.
- 1hakr 7y agoI believe Spartacus is a very reputable site for the gay community and this data is based on that https://spartacus.gayguide.travel/blog/spartacus-gay-travel-index/ https://spartacus.gayguide.travel/blog/spartacus-gay-travel-...
- lightgreen 7y ago> you can see gay people kissing on the streets without repercussions I never say gay people kissing (or even holding hands) even in Moscow. Maybe Russia is not as bad as Syria, but that statement is not true.
- maxmalysh 7y agoYMMV, but check Google Maps to see how many gay bars are there in Moscow.
- lightgreen 7y agoYeah, but none of them is openly gay. For example, they can't practically display a rainbow flag near the entrance. These are "underground" bars and clubs.
- KarlKemp 7y agoAs underground as one can be on Google maps.
