Does amazing race go to countries where gay illegal

Knowing that being gay is completely outlawed in some parts of the world, including some countries visited on the show before, like the U.A.E. (where there is an active death penalty), or Oman (where you get a 3 year prison sentence), I'm thankfully surprised there hasn't been some sort of legal problem on the Race before. This is coming from an LGBT Muslim, so I don't mean to spread hate, but.

If you’re illegal or gay and travelling abroad, it’s sensible to check the laws governing sex and sexuality in whichever country you’re visiting. Dozens of countries still imprison LGBTQ+ people, and nine still threaten the death penalty. It's not the first time the race has taken gay people to a country where homosexuality is illegal. Dubai has come up before, but more recently Tim and TJ going to Morocco where homosexuality is quite possibly more dangerous than in Dubai.

I haven't watched too much of TAR but getting into it now. Just curious as to whether to go to countries where LGBTQ, etc lifestyles aren't accepted/are illegal? Or even like countries where women hold lesser rights? No hate at all here, just honestly curious. The Amazing Race has never been a show that's been critical of its host countries.

It regularly travels to countries like China, Russia, etc. with appalling human races records. Try to country forward as a united Democratic Party.
