    There aren’t. However, if one country’s laws says “we torture lgbt its a crime”, why would you move there as a queer, where your existence is considered a crime? Surely there are other job opportunities at other places that don’t think that way.

      I’m just gonna copy and paste a previous post.

      Not everyone can afford to not take work. Queer people are more likely to be fired and refused jobs because they’re queer, and that frequently means needing to take horrible jobs in horrible places just to survive.

      Surely there are other job opportunities at other places that don’t think that way.

      There really aren’t. In the past year every queer person I know has been fired and/or severely abused at their job and now they can’t find new work. I get that it’s hard for a lot of people to consider literally being unhireable, but that’s what queers are experiencing right now.
