Yeah, I would have major problems with that too. It's one thing to generally respect a prevailing norm (covering yourself up a bit for example), but to go somewhere where living your day-to-day life would be illegal.. I'd rather not give the country my currency.
It makes horrible reading. It's so wearying that so much of the world has such repulsive laws.
I wonder if we're getting any closer to things being better globally or we'll have a big dive in the other direction. Is it wrong to want global-level progression? Hmm.

The amount of red on that page is horrible.
