An Egyptian TV presenter has been sentenced to one year of hard labour for interviewing a gay man last year.

A court in Giza also fined Mohamed al-Ghiety 3,000 Egyptian pounds ($167; £130) for "promoting homosexuality" on his privately owned LTC TV channel.

The gay man, whose identity was hidden, had talked about life as a sex worker.

Homosexuality is not explicitly criminalised in Egypt, however, the authorities have been increasingly cracking down on the LGBT community.

They routinely arrest people suspected of engaging in consensual homosexual conduct on charges of "debauchery", immorality or blasphemy.

I think the first task is to get the whole world to accept that some people do live gays lives.

As long as they don't bother other people with it...it is part of human sexuality.

blackmailed because of it...the Victim of the title, well played by Dirk Bogarde (who I think was one himself?)

Alan Turing was treated appallingly. He was gay but when he reported a young man had stolen from his flat.

The police charged Turing with being in a homosexual relation.Shocked

He was found guilty and ordered to be given female hormones? which made him grow breasts, he then took his

own life.

Not much of a reward for a man who had helped us so much with the breaking of the enigma code in WW11.

Although I think our security services were terrified the Russian's would blackmail Turing over his

homosexuality. Perhaps he was brought down on their orders as he knew too much?

How about these facts Mr Jones:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_in_Islam#Opinion_polls
"A 2007 survey of British Muslims showed that 61% believe homosexuality should be illegal, with up to 71% of young British Muslims holding this belief.[185] A later Gallup poll in 2009 showed that none of the 500 British Muslims polled believed homosexuality to be "morally acceptable"."
"In a 2016 ICM poll of 1,081 British Muslims, 52% of those polled disagreed with the statement 'Homosexuality should be legal in Britain' while 18% agreed."

Egypt is merely a state has the power to enact what such people believe.

Maybe it is hard to believe but the media has always been lying to you. The only difference today is that it has started lying to you about things happening in your own country.

Well pretty well everybody likes sex, whatever their personal choices. We are supposed to.

As long as we do not harm others with it is ok...it must be voluntary


I am not over keen on the idea of Gay marriage and Gay Families myself because I was brought up with

the belief it was a heterosexual institution. But then I am older so I leave it the young to make the choice.

I think children could also do with 2 parents of opposite sex.


I have always believed it should be legal since the Wolfenden Report recommended it and watching the film

Victim.


Religions came before the Media we have today. They were rules which governed societies. Both the Bible and

Koran said it was a sin. One of the reasons for this may have been the need to keep populations up, so all

needed to be heterosexual.

But strangely the Greeks seemed to tolerate homosexuality and they did not become extinct.


The Christian Church cannot change the Bible but most modern clerics certainly in the CE see it as a very

small sin.

The Muslims still to be lagging in a bit, I am afraid patience is needed here. But hopefully they will get

there one day

But also Gays themselves have to respect peoples Religious beliefs, no more Bert and Ernie cases please.
