Unofficial Translation of Statement by Egypt's Supreme Council for Media Regulation
This is an unofficial translation from Arabic to English by Human Rights Watch of Egypt's Supreme Council for Media Regulation's September 30, 2017 statement "prohibit[ing] the appearance of homosexuals or their slogans in the media." To access the original statement in Arabic, please visit the Supreme Council for Media Regulation's website.
Media Council Prohibits Appearance of Homosexuals or their Slogans in the Media
The Supreme Council for Media Regulation prohibits the promotion or dissemination of homosexual slogans. Homosexuality is a sickness and disgrace that would be better hidden from view and not promoted for dissemination until it is treated and its disgrace removed. This is to preserve order and public decency and out of respect for the values and correct beliefs of society. Promotion of these slogans is also a corruption of society that should be punished.
It is forbidden for homosexuals to appear in any media outlet whether written, audio, or visual, except when they acknowledge the fact that their conduct is inappropriate and repent for it.
Makram Mohammed Ahmed, president of the council, asserted that this does not mean that we are hiding our heads in the sand and ignoring the illness or denying it. On the contrary, it must be treated and removed as a sickness spreading among the youth. It is an illness that is spreading for reasons that ought to be exposed and treated, including because of the complete reliance on servants for child rearing, weak parental supervision over children’s behavior, and socializing with the wrong circles.

Egypt is a gangster state ruled by a military tyrant. He's probably better than the preceding Muslim Brotherhood government but not by much, if at all. It's not fake news.
