Earlier quoted context omitted.

It also said sorry for offending people very quickly afterwards, and more to the point has tiny and declining attendance and minimal impact on attitudes towards homosexual tourists. The idea that it's more hostile and influential on the subject of homosexuality than, say, the Catholic church in most Catholic majority countries doesn't really stack up.

It's the official state religion and is represented in the house of lords. That's real actual power, albeit moderated by the rest of the HoL. And, while they apologised, they stuck by that announcement. We also have Catholic churches here, who've made similar pronouncements about relationships of gay people. We've had a long running demonstration outside primary schools by Muslim people complaining about age appropri…

Nobody is saying that religious prejudice in the UK is nonexistent. What I am saying is the data source's conclusion that the UK has a high level of religious prejudice not found in the rest of Western Europe is palpably absurd.

'But I have to worry about the power of bishops in the House of Lords', said no tourist ever.

> Singapore is part of Asia with main city at Singapore. Its Developing country with a population of 6M people. Singapore is a first world country.

Singapore claims Developing Country status in the WTO [1], so it's not entirely inaccurate.

Poland scores much higher than South Korea. Poland has areas which have declared themselves LGBT-free zones. South Korea is higher on the Human Development Index but is described as "developing". This is just nonsense, isn't it?

LGBT-free zones are places free of LGBT ideology and not LGBT people. Totally different meaning.

As a gay man, you're safer and better off in Singapore than you would be in most parts of Europe and the top portion of the list. Yet Singapore is down at 92. Interpret this however you want, but the list flawed. Laws don't mean shit unless they're enforced and that goes both ways. "Bad" laws not enforced is better than good laws not enforced.

Thanks for the feedback mate. I got this data from Spartacus website. Do you think it's not accurate? What about all the other countries? https://spartacus.gayguide.travel/blog/spartacus-gay-travel-...

that guide has such a bad reputation for a lot of queer people. the rating isn't a bad rough guide, but it is outright dangerous as a resource to people who are especially trans and gender nonconforming, and queer people traveling with their kids.

if you make it clear that that's your source that's fine, but.... it needs to be more clear.

The former is obvious, no place is LGBT free by fiat. Just more repressive.

> Totally different meaning.

If people aren't allowed to express who they are or their beliefs for fear of literally being bricked or kicked in the face [0][1] then you're banning LGBT people (and obviously "LGBT ideology" too).
