Iraq protects homosexuality
(MENAFN) The Iraqi administration has allegedly commanded press firms to stop utilizing the word ‘homosexuality’ and substitute it with ‘sexual deviance’. With United States effect in Iraq retreating, old-style Islamic standards are making a resurgence.
The National Communications as well as Media Commission of Iraq (NCMC) stated on Tuesday that it “directs media organizations... not to use the term ‘homosexuality’ and to use the correct term ‘sexual deviance’,” a news agency stated.
The news agency also noted that the instruction applies to news as well as entertainment press, also to internet as well as phone firms, who has to guarantee that their apps obey. The word ‘gender’ is also prohibited under the command.
An administration presenter stated that a punishment for breaching the regulation has not yet been decided, however, it may contain a fine.
Iraq’s 1969 penal code did not openly outlaw homosexuality, however, presented no defenses from extrajudicial annoyance to gays and lesbians.
