Last I’ve heard, there were some issues, but things were getting better. Now I have stumbled upon this headline and wish to know more details about the situation.

considering some of the comments in this thread, I want to point out that

it's perfectly fine to provide legitimate criticism of LGBTQ+ rights in any country
you should be skeptical of articles like these in bourgeois media, particularly from the imperial core (that doesn't mean they should be dismissed, just viewed with a critical eye)
while violations (or alleged violations) of LGBTQ+ rights are used as war propaganda by imperialists (e.g. the absence of pride parades in a non-Western country doesn't imply that they're outlawed), LGBTQ+ people were around long before capitalism and something like "LGBT is a Western invention" is not acceptable
