  • The issue is, social change should be driven by the locals, through civil organizations, grassroots movements, education, etc. If foreigners want to help, they can help local LGBT groups with support, know-how, expertise.

    If, instead, you just go to a foreign country, tell people there how backwards and evil their society is, and demand they change it, at best you’ll be wasting your time, and if you’re high-profile enough, boost local reactionary sentiment.

    The advance of LGBT rights in the west has been a long process. And other societies aren’t going to just magically internalize the results of it. They still need to walk the path. But, since it’s already been done once, they can hopefully do it faster.
