  • A nice pic (gay thread)

    I like maps. Here is one I've came upon, I think it may interest some of You.
    It's a downsized version.
    It is a map depicting dealing with gay issue in various countries.

    dark blue - same-sex marriage legal
    dark green - same-sex unions legal
    light green - homosexuality legal, but no unions or marriages
    yellow - homosexuality illegal, minimal penalty
    orangish - homosexuality illegal, large penalty
    red - homosexuality illegal, life in prison
    dark red - death penalty for homosexuality
    pink - homosexuality illegal, but lack of info about penalty
    greyish - lack of info

    In general, homosexuality is illegal in most of African and Muslim countries (I think it is also illegal in Jordan, which is not visible on the map), also in India and surroundings.
    On the other hand, same-sex marriages and unions are only present in Christian countries - but there are also some Christian countries that forbid homosexual acts.

    Funny how the most ignorant and savage parts of the world have the most outspoke anti-gay attidues.
    To us, it is the BEAST.

          Damn false advertising...Where's my man flesh?
          Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
          -Richard Dawkins

              For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

                        It's probable that homosexuality was not illegal in Saddam's Iraq. Now it will probably change, though.

                          India is a dreadful place.... according to one of my friends, who is Indian.

                            Oh, and I've seen another map of gay legislation not so ong ago, and of the tree Saharean states, that is Mali, Niger and Chad, I recall that only in one homosex was legal, I think in Chad.
                            So it's probably wrong in that map as well
