      You are in FAR more danger inside the USA than almost anywhere else. Projection to idiots.

          Even if it is referring to right-wing assholes, the US is one of the safer places in the world for LGBT folk. That’s not high praise of the US so much as damnation for most of the rest of the world, but either way, one is definitely not in “FAR more danger” inside the USA than “almost anywhere else”.

        You’re too entrenched in the stink to even know.

        The US ranks 129th in the GPI out of 163. That’s pretty awful. And when you actually live outside the US, you realize just how awful it is.

        Just because most Americans are too brainwashed to notice it is not normal to be in perpetual fear, to have guns around you everywhere, to treat everyone like a threat, to have a constant surveillance of your property because of theft and vandalism, etc. These are not normal things in the world. These are American normals because the US is a shithole country.

        I spend most of my time in a country where I don’t lock my front door. I leave my wallet, phone, laptop, etc just out and about and walk away for hours sometimes to have fun in a park, beach, or just walk around the city. Nobody touches it. My car keys are on my windshield, just like everybody else. Comes in handy when the fuel delivery and car detail service comes around. That is what can be. The US is nothing like it, and won’t ever be.

          For anyone else who was unfamiliar, the GPI is the “Global Peace Index”, and it has literally nothing to do with this conversation - it’s just the first metric TechNerdWizard42 could pull out of their ass where the US is ranked low.

            Peace and being at peace or “not in danger” don’t correlate at all to you? Must be an American when that stupidity.

            USA is a shithole, enjoy. Don’t be shot

            Peace.

          This warning is for LGBTQIA+ though. No way in fuck is it less safe in the US overall compared to a huge number of countries with that context.

        And this is just the legal status, as in, is it criminal to be in a homosexual relationship. Not do LGBT+ have rights, are there anti discrimination laws, are advocacy groups allowed. And certainly not how LGBT+ folks are treated in society.

          Are you really saying it is safer to be queer in all of those African and Middle Eastern countries than it is in the U.S.? Really?

            No. I’m pointing out that all the green countries aren’t equal. Like some allow gay marriage and some do not. Some allow legal discrimination against LGBT+ folks and some do not.

            Mostly I was surprised to see Russia as green and had to look up why.
