From their cozy Western perspective, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex people (LGBTs) think that they already have an upper hand in their battle against conservative groups to get their selfish agenda accepted. Even if Europe, Australia, North America, and most of South America, have started the discussion about gay marriage and homosexual adoption, only the most narrow-minded LGBT would still think majority of people around the world have accepted their lifestyle and their deviant sexual orientation.
The reality is a little different. Across the world, there are hundreds of governments that still promotes the traditional relationship scenario and were successful in preventing the minority LGBTs from making their lives miserable. From highly developed Sharia states to economically-growing Christian nations, more than half of the world government are still able to make life comfortable for the majority straight people, while preventing the bleak and disease-infested environment that LGBTs are proposing from taking hold.
According to the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA), there are 78 countries with criminal laws against sexual activity by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex people (LGBTs), but that really is an understatement.
If you examine the list, there are some countries that were not included, which could prop the number to 86.
