In Africa, Cape Verde decriminlized homosexuality.
In Asia, Fiji decriminalized.
In the Americas, Nicaragua decriminalized homosexuality, as did Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos Islands, and Cayman Islands.
I didn't know that homosexuality was still illegal in all these places. It's really sad that these Governments dictate who their people can fall in love with or be attracted to - as if we can control those things! But the fact that Obama was voted into office in the US really gives me hope that Civil Rights in general are still improving...maybe one day, love in all its forms will be embraced by the law :(
Indeed it is very sad that there are many countries which criminalize same-sex relationship. While the world has to much proprolems to deal with, States spend so much of their time and resources in making the life of people difficult. Let us hope that people will open their eyes and see each others humanity.
lets really think about this. these countries listed here are very religious and many of their laws are based upon their religious beliefs, morals, values, culture, norms, etc. Human beings are meant to procreate. that is just the essence of our being. man and man cannot reproduce. woman and woman cannot reproduce. How is it right that 2 men or 2 women are involved intimately? it can't be right.
who says all humans are supposed to procreate? The world is already overpopulated, how about doing a few other worthwile things too! We could start by making it a better place for our children. More love and understanding, and less hate for starters has got to be a good thing!
Of course nature never intended that ALL humans have to procreate, one of the many reasons is overpopulation, I believe in the powers of nature, who are we to question those powers? Homosexuality is nature's way of birth control.
Religion !? is a dangerous man-made ideal - has blinded us so much that we don't seem to realize that religion itself IS the devil in disguise. Where does so much hatred against humanity stems from?...you've guessed it - RELIGION !!!
sure, to you, it may seem that it cannot be right. But really, what is right? What is wrong? There is nothing to say that homosexuality is not right. People should be able to choose who they are atrracted to, without having to worry about being discriminated against because of law or religion. Saying that 2 men or 2 women cannot be together is like saying that you cannot put 2 pieces of the same kind of bread on a sandwich. Sure, people may think that that is the right thing to do, but that does not mean that it is ACTUALLY right. Does it really matter that 2 men cannot reproduce? with the amount of people being born into the world, i dont think it will matter that much. Plus, with the amount of people being affected by poverty throughout the world, and the racism and violence, i dont think homosexuality is the biggest problem here. Why cant we just let people be?
It does not matter, people are people it is unacceptable to excute or eliminate someone due to their sexual prefrence. Religion should not be allowed to control anyone.
It's actually legal in Puerto Rico, as it falls under US law.
I think people shuld love who they want. Whats rite is wat u make it so let people say wat they want. 2 guys and 2 girls can love each other more passionately than most straight people.
Hi I'm doing a paper on this for uni does anyone know where i can get an updated vertion of this list from?
thanks
