Re: Map of Constitutional discrimination laws by sexual orientation and/or gender identity by country or territory[edit]
I noticed that Cuba is highlighted as grey on this map, which means "No national or local level constitutional discrimination laws covering sexual orientation and/or gender identity."
However, the 2019 Cuban constitution bans "discrimination based on gender, race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Cuba#2019_Constitution)
Article 42 of the constitution: (https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Cuba_2019)
> "All people are equal before the law, receive the same protection and treatment from the authorities, and enjoy the same rights, liberties, and opportunities, without any discrimination for reasons of sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ethnic origin, skin color, religious belief, disability, national or territorial origin, or any other personal condition or circumstance that implies a distinction injurious to human dignity."
Can we have the map changed to reflect this? According to the legend, Cuba should be purple, as they cover both sexual orientation and gender identity. Himisuda (talk) 04:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

“Western European” countries and other countries put into the wrong geoscheme[edit]
Some countries are not put in the correct geoscheme for certain continents. For example, the UK is erroneously stated to be in West Europe when it is in Northern Europe. OMGShay 92 (talk) 11:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
LGBT rights map is incorrect[edit]
Hello.
I want some help in editing the map being used on LGBT rights by country or territory (Template:World laws pertaining to homosexual relationships and expression).
The information concering South Asia appears to be incorrect:
- Pakistan should be changed to "Prison, with arrests or detention"
- Bangladesh and Sri Lanka shoud be changed to "Prison, not enforced" (I have no idea why Bangladesh is coloured as having same-sex relationship legal protections).
There have been no arrets in Bangladesh or Sri Lanka during the past several years so I doubt they should be included.
I have a feeling that Pakistan might be controversial, but the following do state that there are arrests of LGBTQ in the country, especially the UK foreign office summary:

- PK: "although Pakistan has not convicted sexual minorities on the grounds of anti-homosexuality legislation, the situation is different within families, as 'hundreds of homicides are committed each year in the country in the name of family “honour”.'"
- We don't map 'honour'-killings, so yellow seems right. — kwami (talk) 00:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Dominica[edit]
Dominica has abolished its sodomy law, so the timeline and "laws by county" table should be changed to reflect this.
