Gay groups seek change to rape laws

Gay-rights advocates yesterday called for laws to cover the rape and sexual assault of homosexuals and transgender victims.

They want legislation amended following incidents in which homosexual men have been unable to bring rape charges as a result of the "limited coverage of the law".

Gay-rights groups want the definition of rape in the Criminal Code expanded to cover homosexual and transgender victims as well as sexual violation with sex toys and other implements. Forced oral sex needed to be included also, they said.

Outspoken gay activist Nathee Teerarojjanaponse, of the Gay Group on Thai Politics, said sex charges were limited to those by men on women.

Gay men were victims of rape, too, but not covered by the law, he said.

National gay groups proposed Article 276 of the Criminal Code be expanded to include rape and sexual assault on transgender victims and homosexuals.

It needed to include non-consensual oral sex and violations with implements such as sex toys, they said.

Citing a report from the Kul Gay hotline, Nathee said sexual attacks against homosexuals and transgender victims were increasing and becoming more severe.
Many transgender victims had been raped and left with no legal recourse because police refused to accept attacks as rapes. Police described the attacks as "physical assault", which was subject to a lighter penalty on conviction, he said. The network will ask Human Rights Commission member Khunying Amporn Meesuk and Constitution Drafting Assembly first deputy chairman Seri Suwanpanont to consider their demands.

A definite hot topic for the fag hags at TV

It would appear not. They must all be too busy being Super Moderators, or organising trips to saunas to comment.

Well it just makes sense, doesn't it?

I mean the subject of the thread.

Well I am glad I haven't got any families of gay rapists living near me

Some call it rape others call it surprise sex

Forced oral sex needed to be included also, they said.

I be damned, I didn't know that ya had to force em, all the ones I ever saw were hustling some dude to let them suck his cock.
I know when i first went aboard a search and rescue boat in Sausalito Calif. across the Gate from Frisco, the cops picked me up my first night in town and asked if I was on the 95 boat, Yep, so they said if I kicked the shit outta any queers that they would can my ass, but if I just made a complaint then they would throw the queer in jail.

But as to raping a queer, that would have to be another queer wouldn't it??
