Being a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual person is a considered a taboo vice in the Muslim-dominated Islamic Republic of Pakistan and gay rights are close to non-existent. Due to the religious intolerance towards such acts, the country's laws tend to oppose homosexuality and other forms of alternative sexual orientation which can be punishable with up to a life sentence.
The more the practice of homosexuality is suppressed, the quicker it seems to have been thriving. Gay men now feel less inhibited and are standing up for their sexuality. Metropolitan areas like Lahore and Karachi have seen many gay men enjoying themselves at parties aimed at proclaiming their gay pride. These usually involve large numbers of men dancing together in huge isolated rooms modelled into a discotheque environment and making out.
With people afraid of proclaiming their sexuality to others due to the laws that forbid to, LGBT Pakistanis are finding others ways to come out to a larger mass. This involves discussions on social networking websites like Facebook, Orkut, blogs and websites. (From Wikipedia) |
