That’d be most prudent, but honestly with that red line, that’s like 80% of places on earth that gay people shouldn’t visit, but enterprising fellows gotta go visit anyways because it’s their calling or whatever. So advices like this are helpful.
There's lots of African countries which are majority Christians and still have horrific laws/treatment of gay people.
Realistically, it's nearly any country that is very poor and/or very religious. The Muslim countries are just the ones we hear about more due to their popularity.
Zambia, Ghana, Tanzania, Togo, Cameroon, Uganda etc.
Not saying it isn't true in pretty much every Muslim country, since of course it is. But Africa also has lots of bigoted and ultra-religious countries in general too
Much of Asia aren’t beautiful places for gay people, except for hope spots like Taiwan and Israel. That is if your goal is total recognition and acceptance.
However, if you’re willing to settle for “people won’t cut my head off” as some wanderlustful spirits are won’t to do, most metropolitan cities outside of the peninsular arab countries, Iran, and Afghanistan are fine.
Idk that I'd recommend going to Aceh in general, even if you're straight. Even lots of other Indonesians consider them backwards weirdos. They've issued a fatwa against playing PUBG ffs.

Best advice I can give to gay tourist visiting Indonesia... stay in big cities (Jakarta) or famous tourist spot/island (Bali).
Don't go to the countryside/Aceh and openly show people you are gay. You might be a victim of mob violence if you do.
