Maybe the US's adversaries could learn from this and go the opposite way to improve LGBT rights instead. Would decrease western govs' ability to pinkwash imperialism, spread atrocity propaganda etc.

So far, the only governments I can think of that seem to have realized this and vastly improved LGBT rights accordingly have been the GDR (which would've likely spread to the rest of the socialist states) and Cuba.

Nah: right wing extremists are getting more and more power everywhere so looks like it's worse LGBT+ rights for everyone.

The future ain't looking too bright.

China also appears to be improving on this in real time, though official policy still lags behind e.g. Cuba.
