| Description | Following the resistance to the 1981 "venereal diseases" bill, the state largely halted the outright criminalization of male homosexuality, even though institutional discrimination remained firmly entrenched. In particular, Article 347 of the Penal Code (ασέλγεια παρά φύση) criminalized male sex workers and set an unequal age of consent for male same-sex sexual activity. |
