Bhutan parliament decriminalizes same-sex relations
Bhutan’s parliament has voted to decriminalize same-sex relations.
The small South Asian nation is now the latest country to repeal sections of its penal code targeting consensual relations between people of the same gender.
On Thursday, both houses of parliament voted to amend articles 213 and 214, which criminalized “unnatural sex.”
Although LGBTQ relations were never specified in the language, “unnatural” was widely interpreted as same-sex acts.
Section 213 under the Bhutan Penal Code 2004 states that, “A defendant shall be guilty of the offense of unnatural sex, if the defendant engages in sodomy or any other sexual conduct that is against the order of nature.” Section 214 adds that the “offense of unnatural sex shall be a petty misdemeanor.”
