Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uganda is one of the countries that criminalize homosexuality and have been known to persecute LGBTQ+ individuals. Russia also has a history of discrimination and persecution of the LGBTQ+ community, but the question specifies that the couple sought asylum in 2014, which was before Russia's 2019 "gay propaganda" law received significant attention. Israel, Germany, and China do not criminalize homosexuality.
