I am deeply shocked when i found on this website (http://ilga.org/ilga/en/countries/BANGLADESH/Law) that the female to female relation is legal in Bangladesh. I am a lesbian from Bangladesh and presently residing in Thailand. I lived in Bangladesh for more then 28 years and as an lesbian i can safely say the Bangladesh's Law do not approve same sex relationship.Then why ILGA stated that female to female relationship is legal.Please do reply.
For Reference "Under Section 377 of the civil penal code, homosexual sex acts are crimes punishable with deportation, fines and/or up to 10 years in jail, though some people have also received life imprisonment. The national law itself is rarely enforced, but there have been incidents of harassment by vigilante groups and the issuance of local fatwas against the LGBT community. In certain situations, Sharia law also influences the sentences imposed for same-sex relations".
