like any country, they have the right to make their own decisions based on their own values, along with the need to take responsibility for the consequences of those choices. you want to lock people up for 6 years for refusing to deny their sexual orientation, that is fine, but then you have to cope with the more developed countries warning their own citizens about it not being safe to go there. on top of that you have to cope with the fact that at least 10 percent of the population in the parts of the world where it is safe to talk about are open about it.
these 10 percent will then not come to your country to be doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, or to do any of the jobs that you want them to do to develope your country, and neither will their family members who might face 6 years in jail for not denying the status of a family member. this will affect your speed of development which is the price for your choice.
it might not be the priority of your politicians now to deal with the problems caused those from abroad who have expertise you need, but how long will it be before the side effects of these choices come back to bite you in your wallets?
how much slower than your neighbours can you afford to be and for how long before you are forced by need to be a little less strict about those born abroad.
if you need convincing of the price of not playing well with others, just look at the financial impact of russia trying to say we can continue perfectly well without everyone else. look at the cost to china because their courts bend over backwards to favour locals over foreign businesses. we live in an interconnected world, and it is no longer possible to ignore this fact.
