There is an article by this guy claiming that gayism was allowed in prewar Somalia. Also some prominent Somali businessmen and musicians were gays.
Is that true?

I miss You. :(
 
I too heard gays were tolerated and that there were many of them in Barawe who would be the "naago" in relations.

The 1962 Somalia Penal Code says this of homosexuality

Art. 409. (Homosexuality). - Whoever has carnal intercourse with a person of the same sex shall be punished, where the act does not constitute a more serious crime, with imprisonment [96 P.C.] from three months to three years. Where the act committed is an act of lust different from carnal intercourse, the punishment imposed shall be reduced by one third [119 P.C.].
