10. Pakistan
Homosexuality is still a taboo in Pakistan especially due to conservative religious views. Due to Sharia law, death penalties exist but are unlikely to be implemented. The Islamabad government is openly intolerant towards LGBT population while most political parties completely ignore the issue of LGBT community or opposed them due to religious beliefs. When it comes to media, Pakistani media censors any LGBT connected news. Pew Research Center survey also shows that 87% believe that homosexuality should not be accepted by society. Pakistan is definitely not as unfriendly as some of the countries that will appear near the top of our list of the least gay-friendly countries in the world but extra precaution is necessary if you are travelling to Pakistan.
