I really hate maps like this since it clearly caters to white gay males shown by their use of “travel”, immediately disregarding all the millions of gay people literally living in these societies.
It is also chauvinistic because they act like any of the countries in red would risk a diplomatic incident to arrest or imprison bourgeois white men who nonetheless enter these countries for their sexual adventurism and fetishism, treating global south gay people as nothing but commodified bodies to use and discard, and condemning the people they use to the supposed homophobic societies with no spare thought.
As someone who has lived in the supposedly deadly dangerous countries, I am still alive because surprise surprise these countries actually don’t have a gay meter to track the gayness of people. And they especially don’t care what bourgeois white men do in their own rooms.
