  • Status is not correct "Lesbians have gone to jail for kissing"
  • Other "Homosexuality in general is forbidden."
  • Status is not correct "it has always been illegal to engage in homosexual activities or relationships regardless of the gender or the subject, the law does NOT differenciate between men and women in this regard."
  • Status is not correct "Female homosexual activity is not any less illegal than male homosexual activity. Both are considered an equal crime. However, in society, male are most often the main targets of persecution and violence. Several lesbians have been tried in the past so claiming female homosexual activity is legal is false.
