But strangely enough, there are 24 countries where it is legal to be a lesbian, but illegal to be a gay man!
Here is a list of those countries and the penalties gay men face in those countries:
Ghana: Five to twenty years imprisonment Sierra.
Leone and Guyana: In these countries a gay man will be imprisoned for life!
Nigeria, Tuvalu and Seychelles: Fourteen years in prison Kenya: Fourteen to twenty-one years imprisonment, “depending on the circumstances.”
Malawi: Here gay men can face corporal punishment or fourteen years in jail.
Swaziland: In this country laws against sodomy are rarely enforced, but being openly gay can result in being turned away or evicted from AIDS clinics, which is similar to a death penalty if you think about it!
Saint Kitts and Nevis, Tonga, Belize, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada: Ten year prison sentence.
Jamaica: Hard labor for ten years.
Turkmenistan and Singapore: Two years in prison.
Uzbekistan: Three years imprisonment.
Kiribati, Nauru and Palau: Laws against gay interactions, but penalties not enforced.
Cook Islands: Seven years in jail.
Mauritius is incredibly horrifying. In Mauritius the penalty for being a gay man is death by public stoning!
None of the aforementioned countries have anything against lesbians.
