This is a really important topic. There are a few problems.
Your article mostly focuses on gay people. They make up a tiny portion amoung a community that includes transgender, nonbinary, intersex, asexual, bisexual, pansexual, polyamourous and more people. In areas where the LGBT+ community is widely accepted, there are extrememly high portions of the populations that identify as LGBT+. Having statistics about 30% of the population is very different than having statistics about 5% of the population. Many older survey have lots of deeply closeted people. You need to intentionally include the entire community.
LGBT+ is a very western concept. You need to intentionally include cultures and cultural identities in the countries you highlighted that don’t have western concepts of gender and sexuality.
Obviously colonization, imperialism, and coersive conversion to Christianity is the cause of these issues. One very important issue to consider today are radical Chrisitans from the US that are actively advocating for violence and pushing for this bad legislation. You can’t solve this issue without finding a way to ban these people from doing that. They mostly do it in person so there’d need to be travel bans for these people.
