The source data [1] shows Saudi Arabia as -2 on a scale of 0 to -2 for locals hostile. They also note "Some of the most dangerous countries for LGBT travelers in 2019 include again Saudi Arabia, Iran, Somalia and the Chechen Republic in Russia, where homosexuals are widely persecuted and threatened with death." [2] so maybe there's a second source being used or there's a data conversion issue.

- 1hakr 7y agoYes the discrimination and persecution and negative scores in percentages with colors as orange and red.
- catblast 7y agoCome again? This is pretty much word salad. In the source data, Saudi Arabia is scored as a -2 for locals hostile and France only -1. The percentage is 17% and 33%, respectively. Why is this? The conversion to percentages doesn't make any sense.
- keanzu 7y agoIf the score range were -3 to 3: -3 0% -2 17% -1 33% 0 50% 1 67% 2 83% 3 100% But I suspect the real range is 0, -1, -2 and would make more sense inverted. Canada 0%, France 50%, Saudi 100%. "The strength of the religious influence and general homophobia in society will be assessed with up to -2 points, since the quality of life you can massively restrict homosexual." https://spartacus.gayguide.travel/gaytravelindex_2017.pdf https://spartacus.gayguide.travel/gaytravelindex_2017.pdf
