Pro-LGBT hashtag ‘I love gays’ is trending in Saudi Arabia
A pro-LGBT hashtag has been trending in Saudi Arabia.
People in the country have been tweeting the hashtag, ‘I love gays and I’m not one of them’.
It first appeared on Thursday and was trending at number one by the weekend.
Saudi Arabia is ruled under sharia law where homosexuality is condemned and those guilty of engaging in gay sex can be executed.
But there appears to be scores of ‘straight’ supporters showing solidarity for the nation’s gay citizens.
Homophobic campaigners in Saudi Arabia recently called for tougher anti-gay laws after social media was blamed for ‘making too many homosexuals’.
