5 deadliest among 14 nations with death penalty for gay sex
Fourteen nations and regions with large Muslim populations have laws providing for the death penalty for same-sex activity or otherwise allow such executions. Many fewer countries actually impose the death sentence — by this blog’s count, probably five of them.
That’s a summary of this blog’s updated tally of countries that impose the death penalty for same-sex intimacy. This latest tally incorporates information contained in the 2017 edition of the State-Sponsored Homophobia report from ILGA, the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association.
For details, see the blog page “14 nations have death penalty for gay sex; 5 carry it out.”
(The five — four nations and one would-be nation — where the death penalty is actually imposed for same-sex intimacy are Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Somalia and the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, ISIL and Daesh.)
Proof their religion is of the criminally insane…it’s time for the burning of the three books of religious myth.
