That looks like the rule of law working as expected to me?

You do realize that 20 years ago it was wrong to be gay in various US states, right? And I'm saying this with the consideration that most of the world sees the US as the most advanced country on the planet.

With all due respect, mostly the US sees the US as the most advanced country

The rule of law was correctly implemented. Whether the law was morally correct or not is completely orthogonal to that fact.
So is the law implemented in various countries in Africa. It's up to you if you want to break the law by going there or not.
And it's up to the PSF if they want to fund a conference in a country with unconscionable laws.
