BEG GAY AND LIVG NORTHERN CYPS

The news that this piece of homophobic legislatn had been fally overturned was weled by LGBT mpaigners all over the world. I always found odd that the Turkish Cyprts had this law place as, whether you are the htle and btle of the more populated ci or the ‘sleepy’ villag, I always found a reasonable gree of openns and tolerance to people who were known to be gay or bi-sexual. Ined I knew many men who, on the face of , were brimmg wh ttosterone terms of [tryg to] attract partners of the oppose sex and yet once some alhol had been nsumed they would disappear wh the known and ‘out’ gay the village for some sual sex.
