    It’s the inherent problem behind rolling all LGBT rights into a simple color coded map.

    Absolutely. What does it mean if being gay is illegal? Does that mean what goes on behind closed doors is off-limits or does that mean secret police are actively hunting people on dating apps? That's a massive difference and it is relevant to that part of the world, as the latter is a thing in places like Qatar, but a lot of the other places are at least a bit more laid back about this even though they have the same color on the map.
