Gay and bisexual men are fearing for their lives since the fall of Kabul on August 15, which some saying saying they worry the Taliban will execute them all.
“I just hope that somebody comes and wakes me up from this bad dream,” a 37-year-old gay Afghan told Insider. The man, a United Nations worker, recalled the joyous times of going to a karaoke bar in Kabul and hanging out and dancing with members of the city’s LGBTQ+ community. “It was fantastic and so much fun.”
Things have changed drastically. Now, the man, whom Insider called Rameen, is even too scared to meet with his boyfriend.
“If the Taliban finds out about us, they'll sentence us to death,” Rameen told the site, while in tears. “I think we will have to stop our relationship.”
There’s reason to worry. German newspaper Bild already spoke to one Taliban judge who said the group would stone gay men. The group is known for its extremist view on Sharia Law, which would make homosexuality punishable by death.
Queer men are telling media they hope to find a way to escape the Taliban’s new rule. While homosexuality was still punishable by death, the punishment hadn’t been applied since 2001. During the Taliban’s rule in the 1990s, gay men were sentenced to death in Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, and elsewhere in the country.
“It's clear to me that as soon as the Taliban know that I am a gay man, they will kill me without even thinking about it,” another Afghan man said.

They will be relocated to Fire Island, Provincetown, Key West, etc.
This is who we are rescuing? Butt pirates?
Not extremist at all. This is what Sharia Law says, period.
All cultures are equal.
Shouldn’t the focus be on AMERICANS still there to rescue, not other afghanis struggling to live there in SIN without getting killed. Not our freaking problem.
This is a shock? Or a surprise?
Boy, the snowflakes are gonna freak out when the tic-toes of stoning events start coming out. And when the soccer stadiums “re-open”, they will lose their minds.
Young Americans who are “woke” are going to be shocked in a few weeks.
It will be great to hear the main stream media blast the gay hating Taliban....oh wait...
In 10 days, the US has already airlifted out 50K people.
The US left and deep state won’t stop until all 30 million Afghans are living in the midwest.
Alexander the Great’s fault..........................
Rescue them and send them all to Martha’s Vineyard.
They’ll be welcomed with open arms.

Lawless, violent, sexual crimes against girls and women, criminals, worthless individuals and not a positive addition to any country they have been resettled into.
Americans are going to get a bitter taste of these people that the liberals appease and feel sorry for. They will not assimilate or feel welcomed because of their callous behavior and uncouth culture they bring with them.
This is a huge mistake bringing all of these people into our country.
I would think gays in the Middle East would consider the straight life - or at least stay in the closet.
Did you forget SF and Miami, unless you are Cuban.
Mayor Pete and Chasten are working the phones to arrange just that as we sit here.
They will get priority over Americans to come here.
Time to get married and have kids, boys.
Thanks, Joe!
How soon before every Afghan man claims to be gay ?
