…a and Peky Samal write about the LGBT community’s search for acceptance in Bhutan, where sodomy or “unnatural sex” is against the law. “While Bhutan is predominantly Buddhist and teaches values like compassion and tolerance,” they write, “its laws are highly unfavorable toward the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer (LGBTQ) community that forms a tiny segment of its society.” Deyon Phuntsho with Rainbow Bhutan asks for greater openness: “Being…
