I'm actually a little impressed. Don't get me wrong--the number of "red" countries is still bad, but some of the "white" countries that surprised me--I mean, Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world--I saw more African and Caribbean countries than I'd expected to--*Vatican City*? And then some of the "red" countries that I knew were "red", but also know that things are changing there--hey, would that make them "pink"?
Pink! - wouldn't that be legality, not slight change? it is the 'gay man's colour of choice' after all.
Suggesting pink might scare them from making any changes - if a country went straight from Red (death) to pink (legality) with out going through the white (illegal but we wont kill you - we'll just through you in jail for between 3 years and life) it would be pretty amazing. Unfortunately that would be a much bigger step then possible for the current rate of change.
