Militate on sexual networks

Using on-line gay sites to fight against criminalization of the homosexuality worldwide, that is an idea. The journalist and the photographer Philippe Castetbon is a pioneer in this domain. At first : just a connection without militant motive. Castetbon discovers ´quickly that he can be in touch with gays of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Comoros, the Lebanon, Kenya, Jamaica, Uganda, Ethiopia, Gaza of Pakistan. Countries, approximately 80, where homosexuality is reprehensible and condemned. Punished by prison for 10 years, corporal punishments, death penalties also (in Iran for example). On gay web sites, men display their face hidden in order not to be recognized. Sometimes in postures which let, at least a bit, guess their sensuality. Thanks to all these meeting websites, Philippe Castetbon was able to collect testimonies of those who are reduced to silence. For example a Malaysian gay man : there is a lot of ignorance in Malaysia about gays, and about what they are. Quite a lot of people still associate homosexuality with words like "dirty " or " immoral". Moreover, every person who flirts with someone of the same sex risks until 20 years of prison, and will receive boosts. You too you can militate on gay web sites, inspired by the work of Philippe Castetbon presented in a book published by H&O " The condemned : in my country, my sexuality is a crime " and try to discuss with those we talk a lot but we never hear of.
