    Let’s hope the Dutch can reverse this trend. The Netherlands and the rest of Europe rank very high in the LGBT Equality Index, second only to South America, while China and India are among the least LGBT-friendly country in the world, with the public opinion in China notably being far ahead of the country’s legal progress regarding LGBT rights.

      China is not “among the least LGBT-friendly countries in the world”, even by your own data there are 15 countries in Europe (9 of them in the EU) that are doing the same or worse than China. And because of far-right rising all over europe this is bound to get worse before it gets better, sadly.

        In the ‘legal index’, there are just 3 European countries doing worse than China though (Belarus, Russia and Vatican City)

        Wow, you’re right. The previous comment made it seem like they’re at the bottom but it’s more like the middle of the range

        Tardigrade’s whole schtick is China-bad posts.

        Why would they let data, even if they source it themselves, get in the way of their xenophobic bias?
