answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2015 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned about the treatment of the LGBT community in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs), particularly in Gaza where they are subject to widespread social discrimination for cultural and religious reasons. Homosexuality remains a taboo subject in the OPTs. In some places, such as Ramallah, these taboos are relaxed, but in more conservative areas the situation is very challenging. There are no laws protecting LGBT people, however we are not aware of any recent legal cases being prosecuted against LGBT people.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 21/09/2015 14:50:51 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
