The country where lesbians communicate in code...
Over a period of a few months, the BBC spoke to dozens of young lesbians in a country where homosexuality is illegal. They told us about their day-to-day lives and how they use secret memes to connect with each other on social media platforms and chat apps.

In college I lived in a big house with 8 other college students. Two of the guys were gay (not a couple) and I became very good friends with one of them. They occasionally had gay parties that I attended and had several other gay friends came over to the house and hung out. Not sure I would call how they spoke "code" but there was definitely a LOT of slang that allowed them to discuss things specific to the gay community that straight people would assume was totally straight.

But I wish it would hurry up.
My heart breaks for LGBT people. Their lives are so hard at times and so empty when they can't speak their truth about themselves. I wish the world would open it's eyes and let them be.
