Few outside the gay community want to talk about homosexuality in Pakistan

Pakistan's first website for homosexuals has been blocked by the authorities.
Queerpk.com was set up in July to offer support to the gay community. The site's founder told the BBC the ban violated freedom of speech.
Pakistan's Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has not commented. The site is still available outside the country.

Homosexuality is still taboo in Pakistan and technically illegal, although laws are rarely enforced.

Queerpk.com was launched with the slogan "Know us, don't hate us" and aimed to raise awareness of gay issues and offer advice and sex education to gay, lesbian and transgender people in Pakistan.

When the BBC tried to open the site in Pakistan it got a message that due to forbidden content, access had been denied.

"Our website does not contain any explicit or offensive content so the PTA decision to close down the website without any notice is
unconstitutional and opposes freedom of speech," Queerpk.com's founder, who did not want to be named, told BBC Urdu.

"Mostly, us homosexuals use this website to bring forward health-related issues as sex education is a taboo in this country.

"That is the reason why we carefully chose our language so as there is no reason for the government to ban this."

Queerpk.com's staff do not want to pursue legal action as that would bring them into public view, he said, but they hoped through human rights groups and social workers to record their protest with the government.

For now, the site has been mirrored onto a new domain name to allow access for web users outside Pakistan.
Pakistan's recent record on internet freedom is poor.

It has been more than a year since a ban on YouTube was imposed and some Baloch sites have also been blocked while the insurgency by nationalist rebels in Balochistan province continues.

پی ٹی اے نے ملک میں ہم جنس پرستی سے متعلق باضابطہ ویب سائٹ پر پابندی عائد کر دی ہے۔

غیر ملکی خبر رساں ادارے کے مطابق یہ ویب سائٹ پاکستان میں ہم جنس پرستوں کے بارے میں آگاہی اور آپس میں
میل ملاپ کے لئے تخلیق کی گئی تھی اور اسے 4ماہ قبل شروع کیا گیا تھا تاہم میڈیا میں اس ویب سائٹ کے بارے میں خبریں عام ہونے پر اس پر پاکستان میں پابندی عائد کردی گئی ہے۔

اس ویب سائٹ کی تخلیق کرنے والے شخص کا کہنا تھا کہ ان کی ویب سائٹ پر کوئی قابل اعتراض مواد نہیں تھا اور اسے بند کرنے کا کا فیصلہ غیر آئینی اور آزادی رائے کے حق کے خلاف ہےتاہم وہ عدالت سے رجوع نہیں کریں گے۔ دوسری جانب پی ٹی اے نے اس سلسلے میں کسی بھی قسم کا موقف دینے سے انکار کردیا ہے۔

واضح رہے کہ اس ویب سائٹ کے خالق کا دعویٰ ہے کہ پاکستان میں ہزاروں ہم جنس پرست افراد اس ویب سائٹ کو استعمال کرتے تھے۔

Islam and Homosexuality
A Collection of Articles dealing with this subject:
The Qur'an and Homosexuality:
There are five references in the Qur'an which have been cited as referring to gay and lesbian behavior. Some obviously deal with effeminate men and "masculine women." The two main references to homosexual behavior are:
"We also sent Lut : He said to his people : "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." Qur'an 7:80-81
"What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, and leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are forward folk." Qur'an 26:165
Both references relate to gay sexual activities; lesbian practices are not mentioned in the Qur'an.
Lut is referred to as "Lot" in the Hebrew Scriptures. This passage is an apparent reference to the activities at Sodom and Gamorah. It seems to imply that there was no homosexual behavior before it first appeared in Sodom. This is a uniquely Islamic concept; it does not appear in Jewish or Christian beliefs. The passage also links the sin of Sodom (the reason for its destruction) to homosexuality.That linkage is contradicted by other verses in the Hebrew Scriptures.
The Hadith and homosexuality: The Hadith are collections of sayings attributed to Muhammad. Many Hadiths (ahadith) discuss liwat (sexual intercourse between males). Two examples are:
"When a man mounts another man, the throne of God shakes."
"Kill the one that is doing it and also kill the one that it is being done to." (in reference to the active and passive partners in gay sexual intercourse)
There is at least one mention of lesbian behavior mentioned in the Hadith: "Sihaq (lesbian sexual activity) of women is zina (illegitimate sexual intercourse) among them."
Traditionalist orthodox Muslims generally claim that the Hadith literature contains the authentic sayings of Muhammad. Many liberal Muslims doubt their authenticity. The latter might point out that during the times of the first Caliphs, Muslims did not know what to do with individuals guilty of "liwat/lutiyya". No sahabi (companion) of Muhammad could quote a saying or decision of Muhammad relating to this question.
Treatment of homosexuals within Islam:
According to a pamphlet produced by Al-Fatiha, there is a consensus among Islamic scholars that all humans are naturally heterosexual. 5 Homosexuality is seen by scholars to be a sinful and perverted deviation from the norm. All Islamic schools of thought and jurisprudence consider gay acts to be unlawful. They differ in terms of penalty:
The Hanafite school (currently seen mainly in South and Eastern Asia) teaches that no physical punishment is warranted.
The Hanabalites, (widely followed in the Arab world) teach that severe punishment is warranted.
The Sha'fi school of thought (also seen in the Arab world) requires a minimum of 4 adult male witnesses before a person can be found guilty of a homosexual act. Al-Fatiha estimates that 4,000 homosexuals have been executed in Iran since their revolution in 1979. 10 public executions of homosexuals have been performed in Afghanistan by the Taliban army.

SODOMY AND LESBIANISM
In more than one place in the Holy Koran, Allah recounts to us the story of Lot's people, and how He destroyed them for their wicked practice. There is consensus among both Muslims and the followers of all other religions that sodomy is an enormity. It is even viler and uglier than adultery.
Allah Most High says: "Do you approach the males of humanity, leaving the wives that Allah has created for you? But you are a people who transgress" Koran (26:165-66)
(1) The Prophet (saws) said: (1) "Kill the one who sodomizes and the one who lets if be done to him." (Tirmidhi, a sahih (authentic) hadith)
(2) "May Allah curse him who does that Lot's people did." (Ibn Hibban, sahih (authentic))
(3) "Lesbianism by women is adultery between them." (Tabarani, sahih)"
Taken from the Reliance of the Traveller, transltaed by Nuh Ha Mim Keller, p 664-665.
There are a lot more Hadiths on the issue, and the issue of what is to be done with one who commits sodomy or lesbianism. I will not deal with these now in this post. All I wanted to do was to show that the position of Islam on this issue is that it is an enormity (kaba'ir), and therefore, forbidden, (haram). May Allah (The Exalted) protect us.


If you have these homosexual desires in you seek refuge in Allah and Allah will help you. Allah has revealed the truth. All praise is for Allah!!!
Verses From Qur'an:
026.165-166 "Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!"
027.055 Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!
029.028-29 And (remember) Lut: behold, he said to his people: "Ye do commit lewdness, such as no people in Creation (ever) committed before you. Do ye indeed approach men, and cut off the highway?- and practise wickedness (even) in your councils?" But his people gave no answer but this: they said: "Bring us the Wrath of God if thou tellest the truth."
Hadeeth (saying of prophet Muhammad) regarding homosexuality:
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Prophet (saws) said: A man should not look at the private parts of another man, and a woman should not look at the private parts of another woman. A man should not lie with another man without wearing lower garment under one cover; and a woman should not be lie with another woman without wearing lower garment under one cover. (Abu Dawood)
Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (saws) said: A man should not lie with another man and a woman should not lie with another woman without covering their private parts except a child or a father. He also mentioned a third thing which I forgot. (Abu Dawood)

by the way, welcome to western democrazy, more bad and immoral things you do, more support you get from kafereen.

I remember 'khusra' got their id card, I wrote condeming it and some members here condemned ME because it was their 'rights' to get an Id card because they are Pakistani.

Maghribi tahzeeb isi trah qabza karti hai. begins holding your fingers, move up slowly, and grab your neck. By this time you are totally merged in their culture

Pakistan's gays in dark after Muslim nation's first gay website blocked

130926034700-gay-rainbow-flag-generic-story-top.jpg

The rainbow flag is one of the best known symbols of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community pride around the world.



Hong Kong (CNN) -- Pakistan, ranked by the Pew Research Center as one of the least tolerant countries in the world for gays, has pulled the plug on its only online resource for the Muslim nation's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.Queer Pakistan, which just went online in July, confirmed it had been blocked September 24 with a Twitter post saying, "It's official! QueerPK is banned from viewership in Pakistan."Netizens attempting to access the site inside the country are greeted with the note, "Surf Safely! This website is not accessible. The site you are trying to access contains content that is prohibited for viewership from within Pakistan."Outside the country, however, Queer Pakistan can still be reached via a redirect.

"#QueerPK is now accessible on new domain name http://humjins.com! We are determined to fight #censorship if we have your support!" said Queer Pakistan in a follow-up Twitter post.
"The government's blocking of Queerpk.com clearly violates internationally recognized rights to freedom of expression and non-discrimination, and should be lifted immediately," Phil Robertson, Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch's Asia division, told CNN.
Queer Pakistan's last entry on its homepage, dated September 4, detailed religious, political and social reactions to its existence -- including a call for the government "to control them" and a statement that the "West should not try to impose their values on us."
"Pakistan's shuttering of this news portal shows how incredibly out of step Pakistan is with growing efforts by the United Nations to ensure rights protections for LGBT persons, including the strong public endorsement of LGBT rights given by none other than the U.N. Secretary-General himself," added Robertson.
"Pakistan's donors should get off the sidelines and publicly press the government to reverse this internet censorship and permit discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity to proceed unhindered."
Homosexuality is illegal in Pakistan, a country of more than 193 million people, nearly 97% of which are Muslim.
According to IRIN, a U.N. humanitarian news and analysis service, "under section 377 of the PCC (Pakistan Penal Code), whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which [shall not be less than two years nor more than] 10 years, and shall also be liable to a fine."
Pakistan is also one of just several countries in the world that still reserve the death penalty for homosexuals, according to theInternational Lesbian and Gay Association, or ILGA.
This past June, the Pew Research Center released the results of its survey on the "Global Divide on Homosexuality." Of 39 countries studied, Pakistan was found to be one of the least gay-tolerant, with 87% of those surveyed saying homosexuality should be rejected.
In Asia, only Indonesia -- the world's most populous Muslim country -- scored higher with 93% disapproval. Spain and Germany were found to be the world's most- and second-most tolerant countries respectively.
In a separate survey, Spartacus World's Gay Travel Index ranked Pakistan 124th of 138 nations surveyed for gay tolerance. The country received an overall score of "-5" for the high degree of religious influence, anti-gay laws, local hostility and the risk of prosecution.
Vatican City, Egypt, and Russia scored even lower -- with Iran bottoming out the list with a score of "-13."

All gays in the country must be exported to Afghanistan, someone at the relevant threads @siasat.pk already mentioned that they are in high demand there. If they want their rights and honor, they should "migrate" to Afghanistan for this freedom.
