Homosexuality is illegal in 75 jurisdictions
Egypt- I wonder if this is a country we should be more like? You know, on certain topics like gun control, we hear over and over how we should be like other developed nations.

Cairo (AFP) - An Egyptian court has sentenced 11 men accused of homosexuality to jail terms of between three and 12 years, legal sources said.
The defendants were arrested in a flat in the leafy Cairo suburb of Agouza in September last year.
The court convicted them of "debauchery and incitement to debauchery", the charges generally used to prosecute alleged homosexuals in Egypt as the law does not formally prohibit same-sex relations.
