ARTICLE SUMMARY:Perhaps you remember seeing the global survey of tolerance for gays in 39 countries conducted by Pew Research Center; the survey found that Pakistan was among the areas of lowest tolerance for gays, at 2%, which shouldn't be too surprising in a country where gay sex is illegal under Pakistan's penal code. This survey however, gets an added level of social complexity when paired with a new study by Google Trends, which tracks the Google search trends in various countries--including Pakistan. Google found that despite the very high and prevalent intolerance and flat out disdain for homosexuals, Pakistan is the world leader for search terms including "anal,""shemale sex" and "man f*cking men," (pardon my Google terms French) among other homosexual sex terms. Especially intriguing is the concentration of these searches come from Peshawar, a highly conservative area home of the counterterrorism front. The reasons are many, stemming from the problem of having an openly gay identity in a highly intolerant country.
If you thought this was interesting, have a read about Hindu homosexual identity for a richer look at gay identities and the East.
