Abstract
Since 1990, 54 countries have decriminalized private same-sex sexual acts between adults.1 However, in 61 countries, such acts remain criminalized. Penalties can be severe, including capital punishment, life sentences, forced labor, and corporal punishment, such as flogging. Even where same-sex relations are not explicitly criminalized within a country’s legal framework, laws pertaining to public morality can serve as tools for authorities to prosecute, persecute, and intimidate LGBTQI individuals.
