@@LavenderLingo when it comes to rights, it's mostly the legal protections that matter - unless a country fares well on legal protections but society is far less accepting. Not the case with any of the mentioned countries. Methinks your list is a tad biased towards northern European countries (with one north American country sneaking in at number 5).
You are not wrong. The idea is that many of the anti lgbt laws were put in place during English colonialism and remain as relics in some of the countries they once occupied. The UK itself didn’t legalize same sex sexual relations until 1967. Even then, it still held restrictions for gay men. The UK still struggles with non-binary gender identities and gender affirming care without a medical diagnosis (plus they must be older than 18).
I have a published paper on the LGBTQ+ community and I can see where my paper gets downloaded. I have gotten downloads from countries like Iran, Russia, and other countries with these strict laws. I always want to give a big hug to the people downloading it where it's not safe and let them know there's people who care about them.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for sharing this here!! We can’t wait to read it! You should let us know where we can download it! That’s what we want our community to be too…. A place that is a big hug to those who need it. Thanks for watching our video. We will have more content soon. We are traveling and will have more content when we get back home!
Well, I am still fighting for our rights in the Philippines. Filipinos say the state and religion is sepersted, but until now, same sex marriage is not accepted. I blame their hypocracy for that. I kinda thought Christians should love people.
We live in the US and unfortunately…. State and religion is so tightly intertwined that we face so many terrible human rights violations as well. There can be so much good in spirituality but religion is often built on control and power. Glad that you are still fighting and pushing for equality. Also, thank us for watching! We appreciate it! 💜
You should check out this site!!! ⬇️ www.ilga-europe.org/rainbow-europe/ 👨⚖️ We never recommend only looking at one source to compile your information. But this a decent and trusted source. As far as gross violations of human rights. The UK still unfortunately falls somewhere in the middle compared to countries like Malta/Spain/Denmark/etc. ✈️ as for travel, we have a whole video about the best places for LGBT travel coming up!! This video is mostly about laws that are set up to protect LGBT people. Unfortunately, laws don’t always equate to actual protections and/or social equality which may mean that they still aren’t the best for LGBT travel. Our travel video will be a breakdown of the best and worst countries to visit for LGBT people. Some places we’ve been and some places we want to go. Can’t wait to share it with you all! Have a beautiful day!! 🥰💜
@@LavenderLingo I am curious. Did you guys include the general safety of a country too as a factor? So a place where there is lots of crime and voilence, yet it's not aimed at (in particular) LGBT individuals? Would such country still rank hgh? (hypothetically)
@@PowerRedBullTypologyno we did not. As this video was primarily about the lgbt laws in place. Unfortunately, govt. laws are not equal to government protections and neither are equal to social equality or protections. Which, is true regardless of who the violence/crime is committed on. Our next video about the best and worst countries to travel to for lgbt will include a larger variety of safety issues in each country. Regardless if lgbt laws
Ooooohhhhh my gossssshhh! 😅That’s so embarrassing haha thanks for catching that 😘 idk how we go through this entire editing process without noticing that!
What would you say the degree of correlation is between a country being a colder country, which on the northern hemisphere means a northern country that is relatively cold and the acceptance of LGBT+ ? This is because there seems some relatonship between the wellfare as well as average IQ of northern (colder) countries. Even in countries where one part is significantly colder than the other (like itality, japan) , it's pretty much always the northern (the cold one, on northern hemisphere) that is econimically richer Even in countries like Japan and Itality, the average IQ is also higher in the colder areas. So possiblt the acceptance of LGBT can be partly predicted based on the average IQ being higher, as a higher IQ often means people are more open minded.
To be honest, our research wasn’t on either of these subjects. So we’re not entirely sure. From what we sort of saw was that just northern hemisphere (where it’s cold in the north) are not the only places where there are higher IQ averages. There are higher IQs in the souther tip of the America’s in Chile and Argentina, Australia, etc. And outliers across the board. While it may seem correlated, we don’t actually think colder climates are equal to higher IQs nor broader LGBT acceptance. The truth is that the IQ tests face a lot of criticism on whether it can accurately predict intelligence as it often favors specific types of intelligence that certain cultures deem more important than others. So it may not be the best judge. We don’t think colder climates or iq tests are equal to lgbt acceptance. At least not without further research. It could be a correlation but not something we’ve looked into enough to know
We couldn’t make Jamaica the worst not when other countries make it completely illegal to be gay and have punishment options of death. When Jamaica’s laws outline years of prison and manual labor. Also, Yemen for example identified their “first lgbt” person to come out in 2013…. Which is ridiculous. But that also talks about how dangerous it is to be lgbt and out there. Jamaica is definitely in the bottom but probably not number 1. That being said. This sort of list is subjective because government laws do not equal government protections and neither are equal to social equality or protections. We could’ve switched out a variety of countries because we only did 5…. There are more than 5 on both sides. Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it 💜✌️
We listed them based on our research. We took tons of sources and then sort of averaged them out. Because the truth is that better or worse is subjective. Doing a top five for this same reason was difficult because there are so many other countries that deserve to be on both sides of the spectrum. Something that is missing in this video is the idea that legal protections don’t always equate to social protections even if that is why they are in place. A countries govt can enact laws and then do nothing to uphold them or they may not reflect the people’s opinions of lgbt. Thanks for watching 💜
This is a very good point. Another reason why this list could have no “correct” order. Legal protections don’t always equal social equality or acceptance. And honestly, in most countries the LGB often still find themselves in a better situation than the T in LGBT. Regardless of the side of list they are on
The Netherlands has slipped back lately after being in the top for ages. Its very sad but our politicians just don't give af. There's also been an increase in hate crimes, especially against trans people. Its still a better place for LGBT+ people than most of the world, but protections for LGBT+ people are not a priority anymore. Also, especially with our new government coming in, things will get way worse in NL. The polarisation in the US is also not helping because all this 'woke' nonsense infects people here too. As far as I'm aware, Iceland has more rights for LGBT parents, adoption and civil rights than NL.
Brunei is pronounced like “brew-nye” not “brew-nay”. Also, Canada should be ranked higher than 5. I know this was all based on your own opinions, it sounds like you've never visited Canada despite living just south of the country.
Lol. We realized that it was pronounced like “brew-nye” after we rewatched the press conference where the sultan talked about the moratorium (which we also both said incorrectly) haha honest mistake Also… we have been to Canada. ✌️and we absolutely love it. And it’s more than just based on our opinions. We essentially gathered this information from across all of the different rankings. They all rank Canada and all of the separate countries in a variety of orders because this topic is highly subjective. Government laws do not equal government protections and neither of those are equal to social protections or equality. For example you may find a country like Brazil… who has extremely liberal laws for lgbt but those laws don’t usually equate to protections or social equality. Canada was placed at a variety of placements but usually never fell above places like Iceland, Netherlands, or even Spain which isn’t on the list at all. We only made this video 8 min and only did a top and bottom 5. There were many more countries we could’ve talked about. Thanks for watching! We appreciate it 💜
5:55 justice for Iceland….
This is the correct flag! 🇮🇸
Also for Brunei which is pronounced like “bru-neye” and not “Bru-naye” 😅
Malta, Belgium, Spain and Denmark rank higher on the LGBT legal rights scoreboard than the European countries you mentioned. (Check ILGA)

When the uk had colonies homosexuality was banned pretty much globally, and the majority were,and still are,3rd world countries .

It depends on which religion.
There are religions that are evil, and there are religions that are harmless. Simple to explain.
@@thwguywithwisdom4028 you are absolutely correct

Dutch people can be ignorantly transphobic very often, in my experience. That aren’t as open and tolerant as they see themselves.
This is a very good point. Another reason why this list could have no “correct” order. Legal protections don’t always equal social equality or acceptance.
