UGANDA'S LGBTQ MUNY IS ' SHOCK' OVER NEW MEASURE, GAY ACTIVIST SAYS

This ty unassumg island natn the middle of the Mederranean has over the past quickly evolved to bee one of the most gay iendly untri the world wh some of the most progrsive LGBTQ laws.

Up until 2013, divorce was illegal here, society extremely socially nservative and homosexualy was pretty much unrground. You n read more about this our prehensive gay gui to Malta. A lot of the olr gay guys we met, who me of age the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, had difficulti beg out and were often forced to lead double liv, marryg a woman to satisfy their fay.

In parison, the younger gay guys their teens, 20s and 30s, we found them to be more nfint about their sexualy when we spoke to them about Malta Gay Life.
