'Where Love is Illegal' Instagram account documents same-sex marriage in a bold way

Updated



This year, same-sex marriage and same-sex relationships have been in the news more than ever.

While strides have been made to improve the lives of people in the LGBT community, many countries still reject and look down upon same-sex relationships.



The @WhereLoveIsIllegal Instagram account shows the reality of that condemnation in a very honest and raw way, documenting "stories of survival from around the world" and using the hashtag #WhereLoveIsIllegal.

Billions of LGBT people across the world are still fighting for basic human rights. See the video below for a glimpse into the issues that the LGBT community still faces on a global scale:
