    Ok but this gay British dude (who needs HIV meds on top!) willingly moved to a country where he is automatically made a criminal for his sexuality. How lucrative must this job have been to take such a huge risk?

      There’s a lot of gay men who don’t even consider that these laws will apply to them. It doesn’t help that a lot of people will say “oh those laws only apply to locals, they won’t enforce them on international people”.

      I think a lot of lgbtq dont realize just progressive first world countries are, and how dangerous third world countries are.

        He’d be fine in a lot of third world countries. He really just had to go to one of the worst in terms of LGBTQ acceptance.
