Can somebody please tell that to their governments, then?

I'm still trying to forget the videos where they tossed human beings from buildings, or slowly hang them up, just for loving the wrong person.

Since this is a picture of a liquor store with labeling in English, I'm guessing "their government" is in Washington DC. Or maybe London.

I'm not happy with everything their government is doing, either, but it's not easy to change.

It's nice you remember the original commenter there are Muslims outside of the middle-east, and this shop may well be outside in the middle east, but it's unlikely it is Washington DC or Londen considering nobody would get a bottle for $799.99 or £799.99.

Yeah. Brain fart by me. Only English is the absolut logos.

But I'm going to stand with the idea that a country with a government that executes people for being gay isn't going to have a liquor store showing corporate pride flags

And even in countries with those government, changing the government isn't a simple (or safe) thing.

It's definitely somewhere in Southeast Asia.

Ah, Americans, so focused on the dysfunctionalities of other countries because US media uses them constantly to manufacture consent for war against them. Never gets old. Oh wait, it does.
