Do you think the officials in Asia, for example, would care about that? Overall, I support it but I find it hard to sympathise with first world problems.

LoL, first world problems?  The more countries that legalize the more pressure it puts on places where they're still executing people for homosexuality (You know, that 3rd world thing).  And yes, I think Asia takes very seriously, relationships with the US.  Most countries do.  Whatever your opinion about the US is, it's still a very major player in all regions, basically.  Not just military or trade, but business and tourism as well.

Keep in mind, also, I'm not a huge fan of how singular the US' power is worldwide, but in civil rights cases, it helps when you have a major player backing you up.


Most developed countries are far ahead of the US in regards to human rights, healthcare, etc... Even slavery was abolished 2 generations after it was abolished in commonwealth countries.
