Iraq’s official media regulator has reportedly banned the terms “homosexual” and “homosexuality” on all media and social media platforms and is instead mandating the usage of the term “sexual devia…
Those losers are so worried about other people’s sexuality.
Like, are they going to remove the gender field from their identity forms too? Why would you ban a common word?
That would be ironic, considering that gender wouldn’t matter upon hire.
Good luck teaching most languages if the word “gender” is banned.
Hell, Arabic itself has gendered nouns.

The Iraq war was allegedly to punish Saddam Hussein, who by every single account was not a religious person and would execute Iraqis who were showing signs of being too religious.
Ostriches ban media reports of heads not being in sand.
What’s interesting about homophobia in Iraq and West Asia in general is that it was originally imported by the British during their colonial rule. Prior to this these countries were much less strict about homosexuality. It was still frowned upon at certain points in time, but not violently persecuted. After these countries gained independence they stuck with the British stance regarding homosexuality. Ironically, western nations becoming more open about same sex relationships made fundamentalists in these former colonies even more homophonic and violent because it had the appearance of going against western hegemony (despite homophobia still being firmly engrained into western society).
I think they banning kind of lgbtq, and im not sure because the arab it self has gender pronounces, CMIIW.
