Původní text - Anglicky - Illegal Life - Where being gay is forbidden

Imagine you were and outcast for being left-handed

Imagine your government would jail you for you skin colour

In more than 70 countries people are being persecuted for being gay

Examples:

Shariah law criminalises denouncing Islam, adultery, stealing and rape punishable by death

...and homosexuality.

In 2005 these two teens were hanged.

It's not a single case...

More than 4000 gays have been executed since the Ayatolla [Islamic clerics] seized power in 1979.

Public hangings are most common.

The U.S. army reports simmilar cases in Iraq.

In Nigeria, both the Christian south and the Islamic north prohibit same-sex relationships.

More than a dozen have been sentenced to death by stoning since 2000.

A new law prohibits even meeting gay people with up to 5 years of prison.

Jamaica has the highest murder rate in the world.

Mobs attack gay or trans people, calling for their death.

Some Reggae [Jamaican music] artists instigate the violence against "batty men" [deragatory Jamaican term for gays, "faggots"] through their lyrics.

Although some countries don't official persecute...

Gays and lesbians are intimidated by hatred...

and attacked in public.

Love is no crime
No matter where
No matter whom [you love]
