9 countries, where fiercely hate homosexuals
[size=1.1em]So much so that even killed.
[size=1.1em]European residents can seem that the struggle for gay rights is about to end. Throughout Europe, Australia, North America and most of South America gay marriage and legalized homosexuality and openly discussed. Only the most narrow-minded fanatics may think that sexual orientation can be a cause for condemnation. [size=1.1em]But in many countries the situation is quite different. In particular, in Russia this year introduced a law banning the promotion of homosexuality, which was followed by a wave of attacks on gays and lesbians. Throughout the world there are hundreds of governments that are still doing their best to make life unbearable sexual minorities. In some states, where they live under Sharia law, they are executed, and in other countries homosexuals thrown to rot in prison. Before you - the nine countries where LGBT people really hate it.
[size=1.1em]
 [size=1.1em]1. India
[size=1.1em]For a country that considers itself "the largest democracy in the world", the habit of India blind eye to the rights of sexual minorities is highly questionable. Case in point - the resumption of criminal liability for homosexuality. [size=1.1em]In 2009, the Delhi High Court quashed the 153-year-old law passed by the British colonial government, under which sex between two consenting adults of the same sex was considered a crime. This was seen as a huge step forward in the struggle for gay rights in the country, and many have suggested that this was the beginning of a new era of tolerance for the LGBT community. [size=1.1em]But there it was in December of 2013 the court reversed its decision, again making the relationship between the LGBT illegal. Thanks to the efforts of a handful of fanatics, those who accidentally saw a man kissing her sex, faces up to ten years imprisonment.Undoubtedly, this is the path that will convince all that India is really booming, "democracy."  [size=1.1em]2. Northern Cyprus
[size=1.1em]Northern Cyprus - disputed territory on the edge of Europe: an unrecognized country, which is technically part of the EU, but it is under Turkish occupation. This is the only place in Europe where there is still practiced by the state encouraged homophobia. [size=1.1em]According to section 171 in the Code of the country, gay sex is completely illegal and punishable by imprisonment of up to five years, and it's not just some quaint old law, which is not canceled in time. In 2012, the country underwent a wave of arrests of LGBT people-that is a waste of time and effort of the police and public funds to capture people with gay government considered a smart move. [size=1.1em]It is noteworthy that in Cyprus there are no laws banning homosexuality, but because of the occupation of adults in the north of the country have to fear for their safety.  [size=1.1em]3. Singapore
[size=1.1em]The city-state on the edge of the Malay Peninsula - a place very conservative, so perhaps it is not surprising that homosexuality is considered illegal there. Strangely another: men and women gay in this country are treated differently. Since 2007, the sexual relationship between two women is considered legitimate, but sex between two men threatened them with imprisonment up to two years. [size=1.1em]However, this law is rarely enforced, and all visible signs that the attitude towards homosexuals in Singapore will soon become not so strict. Nevertheless, the media provides for fines if they show homosexuality differently than in a negative light - for example, some TV stations have already paid these fees for showing a simple interview with a celebrity-gay. [size=1.1em]Of course, Singapore - not the worst place on our list, but this country is not ready to accept people as they are.  [size=1.1em]4. Jamaica
[size=1.1em]If you want to learn what it means to live in constant fear, try to say in Jamaica that you - gay. On LGBT often attack with a machete and no less frequently beaten. In 2010, for instance, 16-year-old boy hacked to death in his own house for some suspicion of having sex with a man. People often cut or set on fire for suspicion of homosexuality, and during the funeral procession for homosexuals attack people armed with stones and bottles. [size=1.1em]The Government supports this: for having sex with a person of your gender in Jamaica you could face up to ten years in prison ... it's if you're lucky. If you're not lucky, the local police will extort money from you, torture you, or beat to death, and only then you will be thrown into prison. Jamaica for local LGBT people - hell on earth.  [size=1.1em]5. Uganda
[size=1.1em]Most countries in Africa at best disapprove LGBT. At worst - fiercely persecuted. Of course, there are some notable exceptions, such as South Africa or Mozambique, but generally on the continent of gays and lesbians do not like. In Uganda, the same hatred reaches dire proportions. [size=1.1em]If you, as a citizen of Uganda, will have sex with a person of one sex with you, you risk spending the next 14 years of his life in one of the worst prisons in the world. Sometimes people were arrested and expelled from the country for a song or a play in which homosexuality is mentioned, and the police humiliates gays as soon as possible. LGBT rights activists are routinely harassed by the state, and the newspapers had published the names and addresses of gays along with incitement to lynching. [size=1.1em]But even these horrors can not be compared with the bill "kill the gay" - in other words, now homosexuality punishable by the death penalty. So much power in Uganda are concerned that people are doing in bed, and are ready to kill them just for that.  [size=1.1em]6. Nigeria
[size=1.1em]Nigeria - perhaps the most homophobic place on earth. On the question of whether homosexuality be accepted by society, 98% of respondents answered "no." This deep hatred particularly deeply rooted in the country's northern regions, where the population lives under Sharia law - homosexuality is punishable by death. In particular, the law says that gays should be stoned to death - this inhumane form of execution in the rest of the world disappeared back in the dark ages. [size=1.1em]The Christian south the situation is not much better. Now homosexuality is punishable by 14 years' imprisonment, and last year passed a law according to which the people can not be wrong if they accuse someone of being homosexual.  [size=1.1em]7. Afghanistan
[size=1.1em]Afghanistan - the embodiment of strict heterosexual culture. Despite the fact that in this place men can have sex with a nine year old boy, a homosexual is to be prohibited. While in areas controlled by the Karzai government, for it is no longer executed, outside these areas have a very high chance of a homosexual to be killed. [size=1.1em]We also know about the "honor killings" - runaway wives and daughters who refuse to marry with the elderly, killed. Homosexuals in Afghanistan - another kind of target, but they can not do "softer", for example, get married under the threat of expulsion from the country. In the near future the situation may become worse.  [size=1.1em]8. Turkey
[size=1.1em]Although Turkey is not considered homosexuality a crime against LGBT people is often used extremely brutal violence. If you, for example, a transgender woman and live in Turkey, you may be suddenly arrested, the police will blackmail you, and you in prison brutally beaten. 89% of transgender women detainees were attacked, is also not uncommon that they kill or maim strangers. [size=1.1em]Kill homosexuals in "honor killings" has reached epidemic proportions, and very often the police and the courts do not want to press charges. LGBT organizations and websites of similar subjects often close, and homophobia in Turkey is widespread in all classes of society. [size=1.1em]And this is happening in a country that wants to become part of the European Union, a country proud of its modern democracy XXI-st century.  [size=1.1em]9. Iran
[size=1.1em]Hell is for homosexuals in Iran. In remote areas of the country LGBT beaten with whips, tortured, raped and even executed with shocking regularity. Thanks to the bill from the 1987, legalized sexual changes, parents of gay children regularly make them take hormonal treatment against their will, and for a sex change operation local people are killed by bandits.
