Being gay in Somalia was not a crime but the act was. It was illegal for both male and female.
Homosexual intercourse was punished with prison between 3 months and 3 years.
However, if it was not intercourse but some other kind of gay act, I assume oral sex, the punishment would be reduced by a third.
This was very leinent for those times (1964). I have a feeling gay marriage would be legal in Somalia in 2017 if there wasn't a war.
Very interesting.
