A dramatic edit was made by
219.93.35.6 regarding LGBT rights in Malaysia. You may take a look at the full edit here.
This edit does not make sense to me. Malaysia is an Islamic country with very strict laws, where homosexuality is sometimes punishable by
corporal punishment. Thus, it's hard for me to believe that same-sex marriage and adoption is legal in this country. It's also hard for me to believe that the Malaysian government has passed laws banning anti-gay discrimination, as this edit claims.
Since no sources were given for this edit, I have undone it for now.
according to this table same-sex sexual activity is both legal and illegal in iraq. the table indicated that it was legal until a recent anonymous edit changed it without providing references, citing paragraph 401 of the penal code. the paragraph, cited in
LGBT rights in Iraq, states "Any person who commits an immodest act in public is punishable by a period of detention not exceeding 6 months plus a fine not exceeding 50 dinars or by one of those penalties". so it doesn't appear to be illegal, though it is of course possible that people are being persecuted using this paragraph, but no source has been provided. some clarification would be in order.--

doesn't look like there's any opposition so i'll go ahead and change the table to reflect the sources.--

your source does not support the claim. please discuss here before adding unsourced material.--

User:Ususer445, the info you added is incorrect. paragraph 401 does not ban homosexuality. and regarding vigilantes -- this table is about rights, not about criminals targeting lgbt people. the cited references show that there is no death penalty or any other penalty for homosexuality in iraq.--

User:Exjerusalemite see the compromise edit. I feel that BayardFuller has made a fair middle ground edit, listing it as generally illegal, while still noting the vigilante attacks which are important as they are common and are performed by both government officials and citizens, making this distinction that it makes the action defacto illegal by way of the morality laws (much like Egypt).

User:Ususer445, no, it is not punishable under paragraph 401 or under any other law, unless you have evidence of that. i don't know if you read the law that you are citing, it makes no mention of homosexuality. this table is about lgbt rights, so what you call "vigilante" is irrelevant -- those are criminal assault against innocent people who broke no law in their country. please discuss here before editing, you keep reinstating an incorrect version.--

your ilga source explicitly contradicts what you're saying. it says the legal code in iraq "does not prohibit same-sex relations". it says that lgbtq people are persecuted by "self-proclaimed sharia judges" and "militias" which is irrelevant to the question of rights. this is violence committed by criminals and terrorists, not by the state. do you understand what this table is about? please establish consensus before reinstating incorrect info.--

Well, if it is actually legal in Iraq, why is it orange in the Asia homosexuality laws image? And it said it was de facto repressed in the LGBT rights in Iraq page. And it said that it is punishable to up to 6 months imprisonment and a fine in that page as well according to paragraph 401.

User:TheBiggestMicrosoftFan100, if you have issues with other wikipedia articles or images, i suggest you discuss them there, this discussion is about this template. i don't know what "de facto repressed" means, this template is about legal status. if you have evidence that in iraq same-sex sexual activity is prosecuted then please cite your sources. paragraph 401, which is quoted in the article, is about immodest acts in public, it makes no distinctions between homosexual and heterosexual immodest acts, and it says nothing about acts done in private (which is, presumably, where most people partake in sexual activity).--

No Sources for North Korea
North Korea has no sources associated with it. This is a big, big problem, and I have removed the claims as such. If anyone has reliable sources on the subject, please furnish them in the template so that they can be verified and feel free to accompany them with relevant changes.
