The Netherlands: Hold my marriage

[DQUACK]

i am just surprised some nations even decriminalized or made it some what legal before the 1980's

[llfysn]

It's really interesting to see the Ottoman Empire legalizing lgbt much before almost all other European countries

[huntermiracle]

2:12 so North Korea legalized this before any state in the USA....

The legalization of homosexual activities early in Brazil was reflected in several important characters in the literature. Several mandatory classic books report homosexual relationships in the 19th century.

Two questions:
-what happened to Poland
-why is Egypt split

You probably should have done a little more research, because being gay is most certainly not a crime in the Philippines. We have no penalties for being gay here. Public opinion of the LGBT community is pretty positive, and we have some anti-discrimination laws. We even have a transgender congresswoman.

Since this video, many things have changed, it is quite outdated.
Slovenia, Switzerland, American Samoa, Curaco, Andorra, Cuba, Chile, Austria, Costa Rica, Taiwan, Ecuador legalised same-sex marriage
Cook Islands, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Singapore Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bhutan, Botswana decriminalised it
Bolivia, Latvia, Montenegro, Aruba, San Marino, Cayman Islands, Monaco, Peru legalised civil unions

Alrighty, for the sake of everybody's health:


Homophobia, Islamophobia, Snarky remarks, Anti-Christian remarks, Anti-Athiest remarks, Anti-Semitism, and Transphobic remarks, and *NOT* allowed in the comment section thank you very much.


This is to ensure nobody breaks into any fights, any such remarks will have their comment removed, thank you for understanding, enjoy the video!

LGBT rights since 2019, but sloppily done in some places. Transitions from civil unions to marriages are not included.

Sudan has removed the death penalty, July 2020. Bhutan has legalized homosexuality, February 2021. Costa Rica has legalized marriage, May 2020. Mexico has more states recognizing civil unions/marriages since 2019.

Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, Georgia, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Panama, El Salvador, Cuba, Japan, Switzerland, Slovakia and perhaps others not mentioned here are "about to" legalize marriages/civil unions. The Inter-American ruling of the Court in 2018 has made some countries in the Caribbean reconsider their laws on gay marriages, some of which were originally unrecognizing.

Oman does not mention any death penalty, so I'm not sure about the red. Kuwait, Eastern Sahara and the Philippines are countries that theoretically 'accept' homosexuality. Benin may or may not recognize civil unions.

Concretely, to summarize, Sudan (below Egypt) went from red to orange. Bhutan (right of Nepal, the white blob) went from white to green. Costa Rica (one of the states near Panama, I suck at Central American geography) went from green to purple. Mexico went from green/purple to green/even more purple. Apart from that, countries are considering legalizing marriages in Europe and yeah.

The information has been taken from Wikipedia. 7th April, 2021. I might have jumped over some other pieces of information so don't take anything as straight facts.

Uganda to the world: “Why are you gae?”

[diamondluck]

Lgbt doesn’t faces penalty here in Philippines, infact they are supported, although not all but atleast somehow majority supported and respected.

[skywarslord]

Props To France for legalizing it so early!

[atharvagawkar]

I want to tell that India before colonialism by British had nice community of LGBTQ
If don't think so then there are temples dedicated to LGBTQ and scripts showing same gender love was free
Even we had them in army and kings court .

Great Video: Individual's rights and liberties are undividable and unselectable. All individuals are entitled to consentual collective interaction as long as it is unharmful. Despite of all political dilemmas in certain nations, their citizens in comment-section are proving a lot.
