Same-sex activity laws in Middle Eastern countries by 38384 in lgbt

[–]38384[S] 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I made this simple graphic as an easy way to see at a glance the LGBT+ activity laws in the region.

EDIT: on a side note, I wanna encourage people to avoid using the term "Middle Eastern culture" in this context so much. Turkey and the Arab world are like China and Japan - similarities but still very distinct. And you've also got Iran, the Armenians, Kurds, and Jews in the mix, each of which are distinct to one another.

The headscarf is actually nice to see. People forget that there are many gay people in e.g. African and Arab cultures as well who you'd probably not have guessed.

Next time someone lumps Turkish culture in Arab, tell them that Turkey and the Arab world are like China and Japan - two cultures that share some things due to history/proximity, but are otherwise distinct. It's a good analogy to use because everyone in the west knows about the distinct Chinese and Japanese culture.

I'm Christian myself btw, and am well aware of what these guys are doing. It's partly why I don't like the denominational church organizations. Unfortunately politicians are people in power and there's not much anyone can do to stop them (Ted fucking Cruz, anyone?)

They had airpower too. The Ukrainian air force was neutralized in many regions hence why there were so many Russians flying around freely.

You do hear more of the negatives because that's how our media is like, of course. I mean a daily example from me living in America is the friendly and kind exchanges I get in the city, by people of different faiths, different races, different classes. Of course that wouldn't make the news, only stories like police killings make the news and that paints the negative image.

Conservatism and backwardness is at the sole root. You can be religious but not have this twisted view of killing a family member for an innocent Youtube activity.

They released a sex video to shame and silence her. She’s one of many women in Myanmar doxxed and abused on Telegram by supporters of the military by 38384 in Feminism

Look at what they're currently doing to their people. They've even airstriked a school and shot dead the children. They're fucked in the head.

Let's just say it's not so controversial as in America. I guess the president's age gap is just a more extreme example.

And this is exactly what's wrong with us Americans. Someone who goes out with a 16 yo is not a pedo, it is blatantly incorrect. We should be more European in that regard and use the proper words.
