Homosexuality and the Security of the State

Homosexuality refers to romantic or sexual attraction between people of the same gender. The security of the state involves safeguarding its citizens, institutions, and overall stability. Some governments have historically viewed homosexuality as a threat to social order or national values, leading to policies criminalizing or suppressing LGBTQ+ individuals. This can create social unrest or weaken social cohesion, which may be perceived as threatening national security. Conversely, protecting LGBTQ+ rights is increasingly seen as essential to upholding human rights, social stability, and the rule of law, contributing to a more inclusive and secure society.
