A video that went viral last week showing a possible gay wedding on the Nile River has led nine men to prosecution under the criminal charges of "debauchery" and "undermining public morals". Also, a forensic doctor was ordered to give a physical examinations to the men, which is a common practice on homosexuals in Egypt. A similar case happened in April, where four men were sentenced to prison.
I don't understand how there can be so much hate for homosexuals when there exactly like everyone else and did nothing to deserve the hate. Egypt is hating on their own citizens as well, which I also don't understand; they're part of your country, you should love all your citizens. I realize all the hate comes from religion, but I, again, don't understand how they can believe what they believe about homosexuals (immoral, unnatural) when scientific research says otherwise. if a country is going to base a government on religion, especially Islam, which is a forever-unchanging religion, there is no possible way for them to be able to grow and become a stronger community.
This actions are inhuman. Why cause people to suffer when they can be free and comfortable in their own skin. The government should highly reconsider evolving to modern times.They are just scared of the unknown which causes them to use violence as there defense. There must be change.
ReplyDeleteEgypt hasn't made social advances like America and some parts of Europe. They are eloped with there natural customs. Plus their society is probably not used to gay marriage. at least not publicly.
ReplyDeleteFor me at least, its easy to imagine that in Egypt people are still very close-minded about homosexuality, since at the time when I lived in Mexico it was a similar situation. I have seen a lot of change since then, which should by all means extend to more distant counties like Egypt!
