From a UN Development Programme statement:

In 62 countries, consensual same-sex sexual relations between adults in private are criminalized, with 12 of these countries even imposing the death penalty for such relations.

The 2025 edition of the Rainbow Map has been released:

    It’s disheartening that in the same era that we can so readily transmit all of the world’s infomation at the speed of light, there are people so full of hatred for people just trying to live their lives. Imagine how much more productive they could be if they focused that energy into something more positive.

    Love is love, trans people are valid, if anyone has an issue, they can go grab a tissue! ❤️

      What you have to understand is if they have been hating you for no reason this entire time, all the hatred and hand wringing about whether you deserve basic human decency must always for them be threatening to collapse into the question “Did I waste my short precious life nurturing an ideology of hate that only hurts people most especially myself?”.

      These people see it like they are running from a herd of charging, angry bulls and they are afraid to think about that in this metaphor the herd of angry bulls is clearly their conscience chasing them out of town.

        Hi, i personally identify as non-binary, which does seem to fit the community rules. Though I ran into this post from the main page and didn’t realize it was women only.

          no worries, gender is complicated and the community rules are meant to be maximally inclusive of trans folks, allowing them to decide whether they wish to include themselves in a women’s-only community.

      can’t tell if you are joking or not, but the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia is not a day that celebrates homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia …

      Thanks for the comment either way, but unfortunately this is a womens-only community, and we have a rule that only women can comment or post. Hope you understand 🧡
