Gay rights in developing countries
In February, we posted the quote: “Coming out as gay: In some countries it means losing your friends, in other countries it means losing your life.” This chart shows some of the legal and social penalties of being gay in some not-so-fortunate developing countries.
Uganda currently has a pending anti-homosexuality bill, which would give the death sentence to gay people. Not only would gay people be at risk, but anyone with knowledge of an individual being gay person could receive the death sentence if they don’t report them to authorities. A pastor showed gay porn in church in an attempt to gain support for proposed anti-homosexuality laws.
Recently, a court in Malawi convicted a gay couple of gross indecency and unnatural acts.

God, times im glad to live in America! this is awful and should be abolished. nobody should have to live as such. they may hate us over there, but we do have some smart moves, though slow on the uptake. its just one of the worst displays of human nature. and its counterproductive and wrong. where is the love my people? where is the love?
