This piece is about the plight of Queer people in countries where same-sex relations are criminalized. There are over 60 countries in which it is a criminal act to have consensual sex with a partner of the same gender. The text on the piece gives some of this statistics. When I did the piece the latest statistics available were from 2022, since then the situation for queer people has gotten worse. There has been a law passed in Uganda which allows for capital punishment as the sentence for homosexuality making it one of six African countries where a person can be executed by the state for their sexual orientation.
