Malaysia

A dramatic edit was made by 219.93.35.6 regarding LGBT rights in Malaysia. You may take a look at the full edit here.

This edit does not make sense to me. Malaysia is an Islamic country with very strict laws, where homosexuality is sometimes punishable by corporal punishment. Thus, it's hard for me to believe that same-sex marriage and adoption is legal in this country. It's also hard for me to believe that the Malaysian government has passed laws banning anti-gay discrimination, as this edit claims.

Since no sources were given for this edit, I have undone it for now.

I also suggest to look at these questionable edits on LGBT rights in Malaysia. Guycn2 · ☎ 22:12, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

iraq?

according to this table same-sex sexual activity is both legal and illegal in iraq. the table indicated that it was legal until a recent anonymous edit changed it without providing references, citing paragraph 401 of the penal code. the paragraph, cited in LGBT rights in Iraq, states "Any person who commits an immodest act in public is punishable by a period of detention not exceeding 6 months plus a fine not exceeding 50 dinars or by one of those penalties". so it doesn't appear to be illegal, though it is of course possible that people are being persecuted using this paragraph, but no source has been provided. some clarification would be in order.--Exjerusalemite (talk) 21:39, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

doesn't look like there's any opposition so i'll go ahead and change the table to reflect the sources.--Exjerusalemite (talk) 22:26, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

I oppose this edit. I'll add the source. 91.196.124.230 (talk)

your source does not support the claim. please discuss here before adding unsourced material.--Exjerusalemite (talk) 23:15, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

User:Ususer445, the info you added is incorrect. paragraph 401 does not ban homosexuality. and regarding vigilantes -- this table is about rights, not about criminals targeting lgbt people. the cited references show that there is no death penalty or any other penalty for homosexuality in iraq.--Exjerusalemite (talk) 16:55, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

No Sources for North Korea

North Korea has no sources associated with it. This is a big, big problem, and I have removed the claims as such. If anyone has reliable sources on the subject, please furnish them in the template so that they can be verified and feel free to accompany them with relevant changes.
