Iraq's Parliament delayed a vote on a draconian anti-LGBTQ+ bill that would have imposed the death penalty for same-sex acts. The bill, slated for discussion last week, faced postponement due to time constraints and disagreements over amendments. Human Rights Watch criticized the legislation, highlighting its conflict with Iraq's constitution and international human rights law. The delay also coincided with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's meeting with President Joe Biden, which was scheduled to focus on increased U.S. investment in Iraq. #Queer Up The World View
