Well, what do they expect in a Muslim country, an island on top of that? Insularity adds up to backwardness.
I used to teach literature in college and I had some homosexual students (both male and female) who started to complain about Christian discrimination of their form of love. They tried to argue that nowhere in the Bible was there an explicit prohibition of homosexuality, that that was a modern invention.
I had to make a parenthesis in my lit texts and asked them to bring bibles for the next class.
It was a very illuminating experience. So many Christians ignore the content of their sacred text. I'm guessing something similar happens in other religions (although I have the impression other religions have made a better job at making their followers do their homework).
My students discovered not only that the Bible explicitly condemns homosexuality (as well as other "depravities"), but also that it prescribes quite shocking punishments, vanishment being the softest one.
They got to the conclusion that they had to either quit their religion or quit their sexual preferences :)
As far as I know they are still homosexuals, most of them living somewhere other than in our devastated Venezuela.
