#2The text box for inputting countries seems to be a bit broken. Seems to stop giving suggestions after some time or it just me?

I've run into that issue a few times but I thought I fixed it. Before, reloading seemed to have fixed it. I'll look into it though. Thanks for pointing it out! :)

#4This page says homosexual activity has been legal in the UK since 2000.
Where is it getting that, and which part of the UK does it apply to?
Same sex sexual activity was legalised in England and Wales in 1967; in Scotland in 1981; and 1982 for NI.
The age of consent was equalised in 2001 (for England, Wales, and Scotland) and 2009 for NI.

If you click on "Details" under the entry it'll show you the source, the user who added it, and the number of upvotes. It seems to be crowdsourced.

If you look at each country individually within the UK, it shows the correct details.
I suspect it is because in the original law, there were nuances such as "The privacy restrictions of the Act meant a third person could not be present and that gay men could not have sex in a hotel. These restrictions were overturned in the European Court of Human Rights in 2000"

"Conversion therapy" is a controversial therapy used to "convert" gay people "back to straight." The process is almost always heavily influenced by religion, and can be very harmful, psychologically. Some gay people are forced into this against their will, by their parents. There have been cases where people have committed suicide or had suicidal thoughts.
The organizations who run the therapy are super sketchy as well.
Wikipedia has some extensive information on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_therapy
