LGBTQ Crackdown is the JRL CHARTS global archive documenting government-led repression, police raids, censorship, and legal attacks targeting LGBTQ communities worldwide.

From mass arrests in Asia and Africa to culture-war legislation in the United States and Europe, JRL CHARTS tracks how political power is used to suppress LGBTQ visibility, relationships, and free expression.

This tag includes coverage of:

  • Police raids on gay bars, spas, and community spaces

  • Arrests under anti-gay and sodomy laws

  • Religious-based prosecutions

  • Media censorship of LGBTQ content

  • Political campaigns targeting queer people

  • Court challenges and international backlash

As LGBTQ acceptance grows globally, so does political resistance — making crackdowns one of the defining battles of our time.

JRL CHARTS provides fact-based, international reporting so readers can see how these power struggles unfold in real time.
