Personally I'd like to see more information and transparency about how the ratings are calculated and where the data is coming from for me to put faith in the website and methodology, since that's the whole premise. For example what does X% discrimination or persecution actually mean? How is that quantified and why is it a percentage? Edit: another thing that doesn't give me confidence in the website are the frequent spelling errors, this is copy and pasted from the Netherlands description and there is a mistake in almost every sentence. > Netherlands is part of Europe with main city at Amsterdam. Its Developed country with a population of 17M people. The main currency is Euro. The languages spoken are Dutch. the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the formal name of Netherlands It is adviced to Exercise normal safety precautions

I got the actual data from https://spartacus.gayguide.travel/blog/spartacus-gay-travel-index/ https://spartacus.gayguide.travel/blog/spartacus-gay-travel-... I just made it a percent to make it easy to compare and understand.

  You've got some bugs in the processing. For instance, at least Belgium & the Netherlands have equal age of consent.

    Yes its present and has the same score for both the countries

  I would argue it doesn't make it easier to understand though, plus I'm sure there is a mistake in your methodology. E.g. several countries you score as 67% in equal age of consent when they have laws specifying this. What is a 100% then? Moreover the guide you posted gives a max rating of 1 in this category, therefore that's why I think you made a mistake mapping their scores to percentages.

    Thanks, another user pointed it out and I fixed. Currently, the ranges are -3 to 3 for each category but for some, it's only 0 to -3 and accordingly I changed it.
