Description:

Throughout the Moslem world, homosexuality is a taboo, punishable in several countries by death. In the Palestinian occupied territories, women or men who have sex with people of the same sex face imprisonment and torture. They are also rejected by their families and the rest of society. Several hundred Palestinian gays and lesbians have fled to Israel. Because they’re Palestinian, they’re illegal and they cannot obtain asylum in Israel. No other country wants to accept them either.
