New Law

A new penal code was adopted in 2018. It replaces the code enacted in the 1970s. Someone who is fluent in the local language should check it out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.142.188.27 (talk) 17:06, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

The Censorship section has two spelling errors that I did not correct because they are quotes: incitment instead of incitement and repugant instead of repugnant. Someone with access to the original document will have to check these out. GreatWhiteNortherner 01:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This statement in has no citation, in the 'Discrimination Protections' section. Someone should verify whether it is true and link to the part of the 2018 penal code that it refers to. I will attempt to research this too and post source here if I find one: "Afghanistan law currently prohibits a political party, interest group or social club from advocating anything that is in opposition to Islamic morality. Absent a change in the law, it is unlikely that a political or social organization advocating LGBT rights will be permitted to exist and promote its viewpoints." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.51.235.122 (talk) 11:22, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT Pride

This is my favorite page. It is probably the only page on the LGBT web that attacks the bisexuality present in a country. B.B. is hardly a phenomenon that has been well analyzed by western academics. All information comes from sensationalist articles looking to turn everything into evil. Once B.B. has been disposed of in this article, the great sobfest can begin about how bad LGBT have it in Afghanistan. But boylovers have it worse in the West. They live in a police state worthy of the GDR. At least LGBT people can create private relationships, if they are careful. How else could B.B. exist in a culture that does not welcome it? But in the West, the state uses electronic surveillance and non-stop propaganda to destroy not only all possibility of relationships, but all possibility of dissent. All boylovers will be destroyed in the West. That is the great accomplishment of LGBT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.107.25 (talk) 18:23, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Death penalty

According to this article, Afghanistan is not one of the nations that uses the death penalty on homosexuals. Does anyone have updated info on this? Czolgolz (talk) 19:46, 3 September 2011 (UTC) http://deathpenaltynews.blogspot.com/2011/09/executed-for-being-gay.html[reply]
