I would not necessarily recommend Germany right now, even though (or rather, because) I am german myself.have you considered anywhere in Europe? Germany or the Netherlands, perhaps? Asia seems to be something of a mixed bag, as far as tolerance goes. So long as you don't have any swastika or hate symbols, you'd avoid almost any other problems you might encounter. Germany in particular is known for being more sexually diverse than just about any other country in the EU. Estonia has fabulous, absolutely free wifi throughout the entire country.
And avoid the US, UK or Switzerland for now; both countries are undergoing some identity crises, and need to sort themselves out before they're back on anyone's Christmas lists.
Things are not okay over here, or at least not as okay as some might think. Yeah, there is a lot of diversity to go around, but there is also a lot of grumbling against just that, because some people feel like it's being 'forced' on them by the government. And there are quite a few anti-refugee feelings going around ever since 2015/2016. The fact that our past government tended to throw every critic into the 'anti-democratic & supremacist' groups didn't help either, and I feel like it's only going to get worse with the new one.
Social security is also a bit iffy right now, between the pandemic, a lack of personnel and a lack of modern technology, so there's no telling anyone looking for refuge would even get approved, provided that Myanmar is actually a 'dangerous' country, which I don't think it is? (EDIT: To clarify, by that I mean that I don't think Germany has classified Myanmar as a dangerous country, which would allow citizens to seek asylum in Germany for a certain period of time) Germany is pretty strict in that regard, so anyone from Myanmar might not actually get permission to stay.
So, honestly, I wouldn't call Germany a prime refuge right now, unfortunately.
