I was confused by Greece for a second as I put it in a religious conservative corner without thinking. But then I remembered Greek history.
You have to skip over 1500 years or so, though. It’s still surprising.
Traditions do not have to be based on logic it seems
I’m not sure what you mean by this. Presumably, being from lemmynsfw it isn’t some kind of swipe at those dirty, deviant gays.
No, I welcome everyone who’s nice 💖
I forgot what I wanted to say anyways
Wow, South America, I did not see that coming. I mean, I knew about Brazil a bit, but I assumed it was a Thailand situation where the law and the practice were two different things.
Isn’t China on the decline more?
Yes, but decline takes time.
Apparently it’s more progressive than South Korea (though far less so than Taiwan).
Idk why but SK is very problematic regarding civil rights in general from a Democratic point of measurement. Japan is considered petty conservative but they are progressive compared to SK.
I however doubt that China is better than SK as they outright ban LGBT characters in media and even mentioning trans people is a problem.
The South Korean government has to balance a lot of interests: The powerful Kleptocracy (Samsung etc.), the military, domestic nationalism (and the people), the US, and all while constantly animositing with their neighbor to the north. I got that from a Chinese political-cartoonist pundit who later got cancelled for good reason though, so take that with a grain of sulphates.
In China, LGBT+ stuff is mostly just censored in state-aired mass media. Anything else, like the most popular manga on the most popular platforms, semifrequently include such stuff, to the point where there are dedicated genre names for at least both. Admittedly, those genre names are borrowed from Japan, but Chinese internet and youth culture in general is fused with East Asian culture (ACG), which was popularized by Japan. That also brings up the question on whether the culture is also fused in Korea. Now, I have no experience with actual South Korean culture, but my anecdotal impression is that the Koreans I meet are less receptive to ACG. From what I can see from a quick skim-through of the relevant Wikipedia article, the LGBT+ are legally more recognized but culturally more persecuted in South Korea.
You can easily search for such genres and obtain such works online (piracy is quite rampant in China). However, many teachers often still ban them in schools like the US deep south due to personal bigortry (but they also ban cards in school soooo). Those teachers are a microcosm of the government’s current direction, which has already closed down LGBT+ establishments and started instituting the aforementioned censorship years ago.
I was reading a very obscure manga that had day characters and the author was forced by the Chinese government to stop it or remove the gays characters, he stopped writing the manga because he became demotivated
Huh, this is the first I’m hearing about this. Any recent examples?
this is kinda weird because i watch gay shows from china all the time
China or Taiwan?
Ah they get the freedom to intrude western media and spread subtile “China good” propaganda, inside China they get censored.
(I kinda like some of the mangas as well, so no offenes)
Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia are red.
Scandinavia is only mid blue? Why?
The source for this data is Equaldex. According to their data on Sweden, for example, the following things are rated negatively:
- non-binary genders aren‘t legally recognized
- intersex infant surgery is not banned
- donating blood is not always possible for homosexual men
- conversion therapy is not banned
They might also take their public opinion section into account for the country‘s overall score, but I haven‘t looked into that more thoroughly.
Yup. Changing gender also requires sterilization in Norway. It’s fucked.
Isn’t that just the byproduct of bottom surgery?
No. It’s common not to get surgery.
Changing gender requires sterilization even if you don’t get surgery? What’s the logic there?
To get estrogen/change state registered gender. Latent hate from an older generation of senior medical people. It was explqined to me over a year ago so i can’t remember specific details.
More colors does not a better scale make. Just do red – white – green.
thailand legalized gay marriage a few months ago, this map is surprisingly out of date
