Around a third of the world gives the death penalty to gays. Almost all are Muslim countries, we never hear a peep about that though. You would think Progressives would be all over that but no! Instead they dwell on what happened 60+ years ago.
There are 8 counties and one wannabe country (Somaliland) that have the death penalty for homosexuality. The only large (as in population) country with such a law is Nigeria which is roughly 50/50 Islamic/Christian.
Hardly a third of the world.
In point of fact Indonesia, the largest Islamic country by population (over 200 million/over 13% of all Muslims in the world), is listed as having homosexuality as legal except for one province.
So your point is what?
The reality is that a very small number of, mostly, small countries that are mostly Islamic have the death penalty for homosexuals. Those laws have been and are now being protested by individuals, organizations and governments around the world.
If you wish to crap on the smallest of steps taken to right a wrong from 70 years ago the least that you can do is use something that is true/makes sense.
And maybe we could hear your opinion on the various American evangelical Christian leaders who were lobbying Angola to add the death penalty for homosexuality when the govt. was in the process of changing the country's laws recently. Would that be something that these "Progressives" you speak of should be concerned about as well?
