note (lesbian status not clear? - but legal according to ILGA)[edit]

Bangladesh was listed as male/female illegal on {{LGBT rights table Asia}}, changing to female needs verification for now. According to the ILGA's 2008 report [1] (page 8), female is "legal", but w/ penal code they quote i'm not sure if female really is legal. leaving this article unchanged & changing the Asian LGBT rights table to female: needs verification.

@Outsider80, lesbianism may be allowed in Bangladeshi societies but it is not officially legal and on the context of male homosexuality both officially and socially forbidden. Gudir Nas (talk) 10:30, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Gudir Nas User:Outsider80 All types of "same sex relationship" is forbidden in Bangladesh. "Same-sex relationship" is nothing but ugly things. Nobody supports them in Bangladesh except some very few followers of evil satan. Nafis Fuad Ayon (talk) 12:00, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Female Homosexuality is also criminalised under the 377 of Bangladesh,Pakistan,Sri lanka,Myanmar.But singapore's section 377 was exceptional. It criminalized male homosexuality only.[2]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35412388 NIKhan2003 (talk) 23:03, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Fatal death"?[edit]

Reading this article, I was disheartened to learn about Rengyu's "fatal death". That is one of the worst kinds of death, because it is, well, fatal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.191.35.218 (talk) 19:58, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
