The situation is much worse in various countries, some of which he can't even risk to visit, such as Iran, were practicing gays are executed. Uganda is considering such a law, but despite widespread religious bigotry civil rights activists believe its exposure as illegal will backfire. Vigilance remains necessary, as even in the US, where gay rights arose, a counter movement for 'therapy' without scientific basis in the name of Bible puritanism causes lots of grief.
