Transgender heading.
That sub-heading is huge. Any way we can shorten it? --Harizotoh9 (talk) 01:03, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Public opinion section - split
Seems like we don't want to conflate views of religious leaders with the public. Therefore, the section should be split along those lines, making it clear that the views of religious leaders are believed to influence the public. Catrìona (talk) 23:55, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 10 June 2024
Change penalty in both the main penalty block and summary from "up to 14 to 21 years with fines" to "up to 21 years with fines", it's more grammatically correct and is also clearer. In addition, in the pending bill penalizing homosexual acts with up to death removed the sentence at the end that the bill was voted against. This statement is unsourced. 118.107.220.32 (talk) 00:02, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
