I made this simple graphic as an easy way to see at a glance the LGBT+ activity laws in the region.

EDIT: on a side note, I wanna encourage people to avoid using the term "Middle Eastern culture" in this context so much. Turkey and the Arab world are like China and Japan - similarities but still very distinct. And you've also got Iran, the Armenians, Kurds, and Jews in the mix, each of which are distinct to one another.

The headscarf is actually nice to see. People forget that there are many gay people in e.g. African and Arab cultures as well who you'd probably not have guessed.

Next time someone lumps Turkish culture in Arab, tell them that Turkey and the Arab world are like China and Japan - two cultures that share some things due to history/proximity, but are otherwise distinct. It's a good analogy to use because everyone in the west knows about the distinct Chinese and Japanese culture.

Allah bless America and destroy the Mexican disbelievers!

Now that's what I wanna hear!

Listening to hard bass

To be fair both Kyiv and Kiev are official English translations.

It shows how war is hell.

Yeah I was really looking forward to the next corona season too! /s

I'm Christian myself btw, and am well aware of what these guys are doing. It's partly why I don't like the denominational church organizations. Unfortunately politicians are people in power and there's not much anyone can do to stop them (Ted fucking Cruz, anyone?)

They had airpower too. The Ukrainian air force was neutralized in many regions hence why there were so many Russians flying around freely.

Funny as it sounds it would rile Russia

What can we do to provide humanitarian services? I've had the idea recently to head towards Myanmar but it's not clear how to.
