In June, the Committee on Individual Freedoms and Equality, known by its French acronym COLIBE, released a report that recommended an overhaul of Tunisia’s penal code — including ending the country’s criminalization of homosexuality. It also recommended abolishing the death penalty, giving women more rights and dismantling patrilineal citizenship and inheritance.
Since Tunisia’s 2011 revolution ushered a new period of democracy into the country, the government has actually ramped up its persecution of the LGBTQ community due in part, according to Baatour, to an increase in police recruiting Islamist people to join the force. Baatour’s run is another historic moment for Tunisia. In 2011, Tunisians took to the streets in massive protests that resulted in the resignation of dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who eventually fled in exile to Saudi Arabia. The Tunisian uprising inspired similar movements in Yemen, Libya, and Egypt that also deposed presidents, while an uprising in Syria morphed into the civil war that continues to this day.
The world is changing and for the better. It's time to show how a country can come together and function for the betterment of all of it's citizens.
Why do people have to bring their sexuality into it?
maybe the guy in Africa will have better luck...the guy here in America really never had a chance. The media has basically picked out their dem choices and im not sure hes really on their radar
At the same time America does.
My nephew Mark came out as gay last week. I immediately kicked him in the ribs and called him a disgrace. My brother tried to call the cops, but I crackblocked him through a glass table. It must’ve been the liberal game “FortNight”.
