Not to mention the booming business of the illegal export of children to the United States.

Always worth a condemnation of course, but what's called for here is the modern nun matriarch. I quite liked a few that came to grandfather's funeral last month in particular, you could tell they'd whop you over the head at a moment's notice but wonderful sense of dark humour, had me in stitches. It was quite nice meeting the parish priests, too. Turns out I'm just overly bitter towards the current generation of cloth takers, who knew.

During one of my contracts, I spoke to a worker of Congolese nationality, and he unironically said that in his country, people who are discovered to be gay are chased into the forest and effectively banished.

Definitely, very few African nations grant full and equal rights to LGBT+ folk.

The tragic thing is that at least some of it can be traced back to Colonial-era laws that have stayed on the statute books and/or the presence of the laws instilled a deep-seated idea amongst the populace that homosexuality is wrong, an idea that still echoes to this day.

India was (until recently) a notable example (despite their extensive history showing that homosexuality and even transgenderism was seen as alright in many stages of Indian history) because of remaining British colonial law.

That and with the American "Missionaries" going over and convincing governments to pass further anti-LGBT laws doesn't help the problem.

I don't think you know a lot about crocodiles then. Also I live in Florida at the moment so it's got plenty of shorter fatter crocodiles called Alligators.
