    Shameful persecution. Ridiculous and unnecessary damage to persons who are no threat to the state whatsoever. On the contrary, it is the state and the majority of the citenzry who are a serious danger to them. They have far more to fear from the state than the state has to fear from them. How can such a small minority harm anything or anyone in any way, merely by having a relationship with another person of the same sex as themselves? Nothing good can come of these prosecutions. Nothing will benefit the state, nor the country. Shame on the government and the people who voted for them.

    On reading the article again, I see there may have been minors involved. Anything involving underage individuals should still be prosecuted of course for the protection of children. My comment refers solely to the stigmatisation of homosexual adults who form relationships with another homosexual adult.
