    We also didn’t consider adult, betting, illegal streaming/downloading services
    Porn disqualified like the kakapo..if not it'll probably rank ahead of Twitter and Wiki for several countries..

    Didn't know Africa into manga too.. so many African countries top 10 mostly porn and manga😙

    That are probably work visa holders. Permanent residents won't count. Family members on dependent visa don't count either, I guess.

    These stats are for visas issued last year - upto Jul or extrapolated somehow. The SCMP article from which this was taken might be worth a read...

    I think there is a data source for this - either immigration or census or published on data.gov.hk - indicating permanent v/s non-permanent residents. If I recall the number is well into the 150K+ range for non DH-visa or GEP visa & dependants... will dig around later.

    Regardless, all stats after 2018 seem to be very volatile for this demo.

    It would be handy if it were true and the translation of effeminate is perhaps correct in places and mistranslations are widespread in other cases. However there are so many other places were the Bible talks about homosexuality without using the word that the message is clear without mistranslation.

    The only argument is that the homosexuality in the Bible refers to cult prostitution (probably with children), violent gang rapes and orgies probably involving slaves. No concept of a loving long term relationship.

    Absolutely no place for homophobia though.

    Not getting into a debate on this though, not enough energy even though I have spent days and days thinking about this issue over the years and written pages.
