Try being a witch in Africa, a gay in the Middle East or Christian for that matter, a Christian in China, a Muslim in Japan, a white person in South Africa, an American in Canada (ha ha) or any of the other variety of examples there are to provide.

That's true. Canada is fine with witches, gays, Christians, Muslims, etc.
Americans.....you all make fun of our round bacon.

I actually really like Milo and he does speak a lot of sense but I have to disagree. I actually think South East Asian Buddhist countries are by far the most welcoming and my case in point is the extended time I have spent in Thailand.
In all my travels I have never come across such a nice open culture as what I experienced their. It was my first taste of a Buddhist country and it has really opened my eyes to how the rest of the world should be, and coming from a firm Atheist that says something.
For me Western culture now has so many flaws and just simply lack of empathy that I cannot say "the west is the best" anymore..

Basically he's saying that anywhere else in the world being openly gay, or transgender or anything different really will come up against more opposition and that in the West we are the most open and accepting.

As much as I'd like to agree.. No. Quite a few places in the world where it doesn't really matter.

Lol-be a foreigner and get caught with any kind of drug in an Asian country.
They won't be very accepting.
