LGBT rights in Afghanistan

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people living in Afghanistan face certain unique legal and social challenges. Homosexuality and cross-dressing are considered serious crimes in Afghanistan, possible punishment may include the death penalty. This is usually the case in rural parts of the country where local villagers take the law into their own hands. As of 2008, it appears that the regime change has not had much impact on the legal status of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals in Afghanistan. In 2012, Nemat Sadat, a former professor of political science at American University of Afghanistan, mobilized a LGBT movement〔http://www.out.com/news-opinion/2014/02/21/russia-runs-closet-afghanistan-comes-out〕 and on August 22, 2013, he became the first public figure〔http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/nov/15/gay-lesbian-around-world〕 to come out as gay and campaign for gender freedom and sexual liberation. Sadat is considered to have broken the taboos on crossdressing and homosexuality in Afghanistan.〔http://corcoranproductions.com/despite-death-threats-a-gay-leader-emerges-in-afghanistan/〕
==Social attitudes==

Afghanistan's population is over 99% Muslim, and the country's Constitution stipulates that Islam shall be the official religion. Homosexuality and cross-dressing are widely seen as taboo and indecent activities, owing to traditional Islamic mores concerning appropriate gender roles and sexual conduct.
When publicly discussed, homosexuality is often linked with prostitution and pedophilia and the level of awareness about sexual orientation or gender identity is limited. In 2011, Afghan news reporters interviewed men who had LGBT-pride symbols on their vehicles, to find out that the men were unaware of the meaning of the rainbow flags and stickers, thinking that it was just another western fad, and began quickly removing the rainbows to avoid being seen as a LGBT person or as supporter of LGBT rights.〔(Afghanistan's accidental gay pride. Guardian. )〕
