Re: Map of Constitutional discrimination laws by sexual orientation and/or gender identity by country or territory
I noticed that Cuba is highlighted as grey on this map, which means "No national or local level constitutional discrimination laws covering sexual orientation and/or gender identity."
> "All people are equal before the law, receive the same protection and treatment from the authorities, and enjoy the same rights, liberties, and opportunities, without any discrimination for reasons of sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ethnic origin, skin color, religious belief, disability, national or territorial origin, or any other personal condition or circumstance that implies a distinction injurious to human dignity."
Can we have the map changed to reflect this? According to the legend, Cuba should be purple, as they cover both sexual orientation and gender identity.

“Western European” countries and other countries put into the wrong geoscheme
Some countries are not put in the correct geoscheme for certain continents. For example, the
UK is erroneously stated to be in West Europe when it is in Northern Europe.

The UK is in the northwest of Europe and can be classified as either Western European or Northern European depending on the context.

The information concering South Asia appears to be incorrect:
Pakistan should be changed to "Prison, with arrests or detention"
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka shoud be changed to "Prison, not enforced" (I have no idea why Bangladesh is coloured as having same-sex relationship legal protections).
There have been no arrets in Bangladesh or Sri Lanka during the past several years so I doubt they should be included.
I have a feeling that Pakistan might be controversial, but the following do state that there are arrests of LGBTQ in the country, especially the UK foreign office summary:
PK: "although Pakistan has not convicted sexual minorities on the grounds of anti-homosexuality legislation, the situation is different within families, as 'hundreds of homicides are committed each year in the country in the name of family “honour”.'"
We don't map 'honour'-killings, so yellow seems right.

The key is about arrests not convictions. In that case both Bangladesh and Pakistan should be light orange "Prison, with arrests or detention". In fact Pakistan has an unenforced death penalty on the books, so it ought to be dark orange actually. Both seem to be glossing over the reality.
There was one example post of an arrest in Sri Lanka, but upon further investigation it seems that it was not actally an arrest but the couple threatened to commit suicide, so were taken to hospital by the police. There doesn't seem to be anything for consensual sex.

I did make some of these changes, and several more, but reverted myself when people objected. So far the refs haven't panned out. E.g. AFAICT Pakistan does not have the death penalty on the books. I'll take a look at the one you posted on the map talk page on Commons.

Okay, I got about halfway through your supposed refs for Pakistan, and they pretty much all failed verification.
Since you've proven incapable of backing up your claims, I'll want something better before wasting any more of my time with lists of supposed sources. Specifically, provide quotations from each source that you think proves your claim, with a page, paragraph or section number if the source is not searchable so that we can verify that it says what you think it says.
