Whisper is an app that lets users post anonymously about any subject. Previously we shared with you 16 of the best and worst coming out stories from around the country. They range from the charming — “I came out of the closet to my mom. She came out to me too” to the distraught — “I came out to my family last week. They all hate me now and call me scum. It hurts but I can’t help the way I am. They should love me regardless.”

We wanted to widen the lens even more and look at global LGBT experiences, so we asked the Whisper team to compile some data from some traditionally antigay parts of the world to get firsthand accounts. The stories people share can be heartbreaking, but the app offers an interesting cross section of where we’re at as a society.
