isnt it so sad to see all thse countries against gay people? there are humans out there who cant even express the way they truly feel because they are under the threat of being executed!
i feel really sorry for them because thier life is all hidden and in secret so noone finds out or they are in trouble

After reading how many countries have homosexuality as illegal in their country, I find it so disgusting. What ever happened to human rights?
I don’t see why people just cannot be who they want to be, as long as they are not hurting anyone else then I cannot see what the big problem is.
I personally do not have an issue with lesbians or gays, they are individual people and if they love people of the same sex then so be it, that is their business and their right to be who they are. But what makes it worse is that some of these countries have the death penalty if you are a homosexual. That just makes me sick, people are born this way and they cannot help how they feel or who they are attracted to, but they have to die because they like people of the same sex as them, it really makes sense aye??

I just see it as completely ridiculous, these homosexual people have not murdered people or done anything like that to warrant the death penalty but they are still getting it. These countries are still living in the dark ages when this didn’t exist and now because they cannot adapt to a modern world they think killing these innocent people is going to solve the problem. Well I personally think countries that have the death penalty for homosexuals are the ones with the problem and they need to stop killing these innocent human beings.
