Summary: Two teenage girls, 16 and 17, in Morocco will suffer three years in jail of homosexuality charges after they were caught kissing in public and hugging on top of a house in Marrakech. On friday, they will go to trial for Article 489 of the Moroccan Penal Code, which states that "any person who commits a lewd and unnatural act with an individual of the same sex may be sentenced to six months to three years of imprisonment.”
Analysis: This article was published to CNN on November 3, 2016 by Arabic staff. I find it very disturbing that they would punish to girls for kissing in public let alone two teenagers. Lat year same gender marriage was legalized and the fact that teenagers were arrest for three years by only expressing their love for each other is heartbreaking. This relates to us in race reasons. Slavery was legalized but there was still segregation and racism throughout the country. Segregation was stopped with Martin Luther King Jr. but people still throw out some racism in there jokes and in the way the act and think. Everybody is equal.
