More like where it has been used consistently and historically. But reporting is difficult, as accurate reporting homosexuality is fraught with social pressures. We might find a sudden drop in U.P. if we could measure it, but how to measure it in terms of before and after?
What you need is a histogram, a graph of incidence across time. It'll be hard to get accurate data. Not that we shouldn't try. But maybe something like "sales of gay porn videos" could be a useful indicator.

I found a page listing the number of homosexuality related prosecutions in Indian states.
Given that UP (199Mio) had 999 and Kerala (33Mio) 207, this could suggest that there are more pro capita in Kerala, but then, these statistics are from 2016: https://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/uttar-pradesh-kerala-top-list-for-most-cases-registered-under-section-377-between-2014-2016_-352777.html

Website traffic to certain sites might be an indicator. The historical data should be there. Just a thought.
For a second, I thought you were talking about the Upper Peninsula aka "da Yooper".
Yoopers vs Kerala will make any chart look funky.
Whats Kerala? I'm not from MI, just spent a little time there and the UP.
Kerala is another province in India. They are often compared to the Indian UP because of their different covid policies and results. https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/paradox-kerala-s-high-covid-19-numbers-153781
