The legal system criminalizes same-sex relations, and recent efforts by religious groups aim to strengthen these laws. Public protests and political exploitation of LGBTQ issues further exacerbate the situation. Many individuals face social isolation, and some resort to extreme measures to hide their sexual orientation.
