Lesbianism in conservative societies

My friend's sister is a lesbian, but my friend doesn't know, and keep telling me my sister is glued to her friend... She doesn't know it is her girlfriend 🤦‍♀️ Me; awkward smile... I've known for four years now, and the funny thing is that I am not even close AT ALL to her sister, but she just told me one time just like that, and I think one of the reasons she felt comfortable telling me is because she felt I was bi myself. When I first met her, with her then girlfriend, I instantly picked up that this was not a friendship, although it was introduced to me as such at first.. Funny she has had different girlfriends over the years, and my friend still cannot see the pattern lol.

I’ve often wondered how people deal In societies where it’s really frowned upon. Here we hear stories about gay men being tossed off of buildings, lesbians being lashed. I don’t know if it’s true or just media misinformation.

Of course, I don’t forget for a minute that here men used to go to prison for so-called "sodomy" laws. Women with children from previous marriages, lost custody instantly.

One of the biggest ironies ever was that in the South, it was once not illegal to have sex with an animal even while there were laws on the books there prohibiting consensual sex with an adult human being of the same gender or a different color. 🤯

@bijouxbroussard Anything that has a religious support, people get all crazy about it. So they'd get all angry about homosexuality, but would only shake their head and find it funny how some people have sex with animals. I don't believe that what you mentioned is completely misinformation, yet it may have been 'too generalized' on the media. People won't throw each other off buildings just like that everywhere, but I am sure it could happen/have happened in certain areas where culture is really conservative. For example where I live, there is law that's well enforced, so you won't see people acting that uncivilized enforcing rules with their own hands, but then it is against the law to be gay here, so you could get in legal troubles for that. So it depends on the area, and i think most people just hide it to protect themselves regardless. I mean the least is that peopel will look down upon you and consider you an incomplete human or something for that

@bijouxbroussard That unfortunate event actually happened in Syria around 2014 I remember LGBT community talking about it and there was a similar incident in Iran in 2021. But like Potato says those are very rare, thankfully laws are respected and just on general you need to be really messed up to commit murder no matter what your reasons are unless it's self-defense which is another story.
