    As per Wikipedia:

    The UN noted that there had been arrests of homosexuals within the past three years in 2018, 2019 and 2022.

    So it’s not like LGBT issues were much better under Imran Khan either.

      Pakistan now went more right instead of less right so I’d be surprised if it isn’t worse now.

        I wouldn’t be surprised either, but you made it sound like things are a lot more clear cut than they actually are.

          The new Pakistani government is pretty extreme right wing so it’s certainly not getting better.

          It didn’t sound like that to me. Americans meddling in other countries is par for the course.

          The bad laws were in place even before Imran - so that isn’t unexpected. However, only a democratic government affords any chance of revisiting it. Arguing that the situation is the same now is completely disingenuous.

        Holy shit they can tell the lesser of two evils after all.

          The difference is that America isn’t going to go less right if Biden wins. It’s already in a downward spiral and voting Biden isn’t going to break it. If anything it will strengthen 2028 Republicans.

          Pakistan wasn’t caught in the uniparty trap yet.
