| Description | Homosexuality is illegal in Syria, but no laws specify homosexuality as a dishonorable discharge or prohibition from military service. For example, committing a crime like robbery in Syria will not ban you from donating blood, same goes with homosexuality. Recently this description has been tampered with by those such as JohnQuebec98. As a Syrian, I know this information is right, and those who tamper it are not Syrian, nor do they understand how Syrian law works. | Homosexuality is illegal in Syria, and thus blood donations are illegal as a result.
