As a fan of traveling, when choosing where to travel I sometimes look up how safe that country is as well as at its social and cultural norms, just to know what is culturally accepted and what is not. However, if you are gay or you are traveling with a gay friend the word “safety” has a completely new meaning. To know which countries you should avoid, take a look at our list below. Actually, “least friendly” might be an understatement in this case, since in a lot of countries on this list being gay is punishable by law with sentences varying from a couple of years in prison to lifetime or even death. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 15 least gay-friendly countries in the world.
While some Western countries promote equal rights and acceptance for same-sex couples, this is not the case in the rest of the world. In fact, maps published by ILGA (International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association show a very discouraging picture of the world. According to their comprehensive survey, there are only 22 countries in the world where gay marriage is legal (out of which 1 is in Africa, 6 in Americas, 13 in Europe and 1 in Oceania). ILGA’s survey found that same-sex sexual acts are illegal in 72 states (33 in Africa, 23 in Asia, 11 in Americas, 6 in Oceania), same-sex sexual acts are punished by the death penalty in 13 states.
