Openly LGBT fellows, how do you feel about others like me....?

Openly LGBT fellows (especially those who live in a state that fully or partially protects their rights a s a legal citizen),

How do you feel about others like me wants to express our sexual identity, but face no social guarantee, nor protection in our area?

This is the condition of LGBT community in my country, according to legal terms

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The penal code prohibits heterosexual and homosexual sodomy with punishments including up to twenty years in prison and or fines and physical punishments. Another part of the section more narrowly prohibits acts of "gross indecency with another male person" with punishment including up to ten years in prison.

State legislators are permitted to enact state laws. In 2003 a certain province fully adopted Islamic law and thus the punishment for sodomy in that province is death. In 2007, Most of the provinces adopted a similar legal system.

In 2005 the President stated that the majority of the society would never accept homosexuals, He also stated that the country will deport any visiting foreign cabinet ministers, or diplomat who is gay, and warned gay ministers in foreign countries not to bring along their partners while visiting the nation.

Earlier this year, the government banned anyone who is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transsexual from appearing on any media. Later, an Official government health minister stated that homosexuality and masturbation helped to spread the H1N1 infection.

Any kinds of bashing, discrimination, and hate-actions towards LGBT people are considered socially acceptable, and a patriotic act to correct the morals of the society.

    I must tell you: regardless of how much you may love your country, regardless of the friends and family you have there, regardless of anything you might feel... if you do not leave you will never be able to be yourself. If you act on your homosexuality, it could be a matter of life and death. If you do not leave you will never know love. You will never know a life of living in the light. You will never, ever be free. Living there means living in a cage. Is that what you want? I respect you if you still have great pride in your country. This is just a question of pride in your country or pride in yourself. For your sake, I wish you could have both. You can't. You don't have a lack of "social guarantee"; You face severe punishment if you express yourself. I urge you to move. If you cannot find it in you to move permanently just yet, perhaps take a long vacation. Get away and see what it's like in a place where you can be yourself. Then you can make a real decision on the matter. I wish you the best of luck and I'm sorry you don't already live in a place where you can live freely.
