I'm more exposed to American conservatism. And even here I barely understand it. I used to be Christian, but I left the religion before I realized I was bi, and before I knew genderfluidity and trans people existed.

I guess I'd have to know why individual religious groups, countries, cities,(etc...) have anti-LGBTQ beliefs. Maybe there are no blanket statements that properly address it for the entire world.

    For a big chunk of Asia, one of the main reasons is the Brits or French or Americans showing up and forcing the criminalization of homosexuality at gun point. I don't think that it's a coincidence that the one Asian country to completely resist/escape colonization (Thailand) is also the most accepting of non-Binary people.
