The map implies that there is no international consensus that same sex
marriage is/were basic human right and that there are a lot of countries
where same sex marriage is considered to be criminally immoral.

Situation is not so different from legitimacy on smoking marijuana.

Thus, international bodies such as ISOC should not have any position
on the issue.

If US court tries to enforce ISOC have some position, it's time to
consider to relocate ISOC outside of US, maybe to Singapore.
