#42This would be great for black people as black people don't need to announce to everyone they are black before they are discriminated against.

#43https://visalist.io/russia/gay-travel > The main currency is undefined. It's the Russian Rouble (RUB). > the Russian Federation is the formal name of undefined I'm not sure what this is supposed to say, but according to the Russian constitution, the names “Russia” and “the Russian Federation” are synonymous. At first I was surprised at how low the Russian Federation is on the list, but then I remembered that Chechnya…
Africa is a very large continent with countries that range from "have legalized same sex marriage" to "have death penalty for homosexuality", so saying a region is "clearly closer to Africa when it comes to LGBT+ rights" doesn't make a ton of sense..

#44civit rights -> civil rights?

#45Like so many others, these rankings seem to be far more focused on the LGB than the T.
Also, the site tells me that I'll get murdered or sentenced to death if I visit a given country, and then immediately below that displays an ad for flights to that country's capital city. I really don't think your CTR is going to be high on that particular ad placement.

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
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. [1] https://spartacus.g…
Yes the discrimination and persecution and negative scores in percentages with colors as orange and red.
Come 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.

#47> Equal Age of Consent: 67% What does this mean? Spartacus has a 1 or 0 (true/false?) in this column.
No actually, If there are positive developments it will be scored from 1,2 or 3 and if there are negative developments then it will -1,-2 or -3 and if there isn't anything going on regarding that then it will be 0
I don't think this is right for every category though, the only thing in the methodology I could find is this
> The categories have different levels. If a category has three levels, a maximum of three points can be awarded.
Keyword being "if". They don't specify which categories these are. Logically how could you score higher than a 1 in equal age of consent, that's a true or false question right?

#48Not sure about the accuracy. France says locals hostile at 33% while Russia only has locals hostile at 17% and locals hostile at 0% in Singapore...Oh and locals hostile at 17% in Saudi Arabia!!! I'd say those numbers are totally wrong. This is the kind of project where hacking a quick solution together could lead to bad consequences so care should be taken with the numbers you give. I wonder if this is because of how…
I got this data from Spartacus. All these numbers are based on data from them https://spartacus.gayguide.travel/blog/spartacus-gay-travel-...
Do you mention they anywhere on your site?

You're right, that part was badly worded.
I've changed it.

I checked 2017, 2018 and Canada held a consistent 1 score. I also found this in the 2017 document:
"With regard to anti-discrimination laws up to 3 points can be awarded, making a distinction, for example, whether the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation in the constitution or only in a law for a specific area is shown."

Also in 2019 Kenya managed a -1 score. Presumably they had equality and repealed it.
