Unsourced

Soros report
At first glance, LGBT rights situation in Kazakhstan may appear neutral due to the lack of information and resources. It's actually as hostile as in many former USSR republics. Surrounding countries still outlaw sodomy. Majority of population is closeted, not many groups are active or able to get the information out of the country. Added 'Unacknowledged and Unprotected' Soros report of 2009 - the only thorough, recent study done on the subject that I was able to find. 100+ pages, has a wealth of information and personal accounts if anyone is willing to dig. --Xargs (talk) 22:13, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Rather than referring to the abstract, the actual report is at http://www.soros.kz/sites/default/files/LGBT_report_end_web_1.pdf, which contains (along with much anecdote) useful, encyclopaedic material. Rich Farmbrough, 15:07, 16 August 2011 (UTC).

Military
Hi @ and @.

My thoughts on the source regarding military acceptance of LGBT people are:

It does not allow us to say: "Lesbians, gays and bisexuals are allowed to serve in the military but discrimination occurs and leads to LGBT Kazakhs being turned away." in Wikipedia's voice. Note that the TengriNews says of the General Staff of the Armed Forces: "Zhusupov noted that his phone number was published on the website of the Ministry of Defense, but over the past two years he has never received calls or complaints about this."

I wonder if, Lmharding, when you mentioned in your ES: "just looked at the source it does say that the Kazakh military gets reports and calls complaining about discrimination" you were thinking of the part where he is quoted as saying:

If it's that part you mean, it is saying the opposite: He get calls complaining. I'm only raising this for discussion, so please just let me know both your thoughts. Thanks. AukusRuckus (talk) 05:58, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
