Central Bank of Egypt presented new banknotes with multi-colored watermarks and caused a wave of criticism to his address from the conservative population of the Muslim country, which found that the money LGBT symbolism was depicted, writes Edition The New Arab.
On polymer bills in 20 Egypt pounds, you can see the rainbow, which led to the indignation of some Egyptians and the appearance of calls to boycott in social networks. Critics caused bills of 10 pounds, since al-Fath Al-Alim Mosque was depicted on them, which in 2019 was opened by the President of the country Abdul Fatti Ass Sisi.
“Twenty pounds with the flag of gays, ten – with a mosque of Abdul-Fattach as-Sisi, when we have hundreds of other outstanding mosques and historical monuments!” – pointed out one of Twitter users. The other added that he considers it to sin and a scandal, for which the authorities are responsible, and urged them to apologize. In response to criticism in the Central Bank reported that the design of banknotes was preliminary and could change to their release in November.
In July, a scandal associated with the topic of LGBT also occurred in Russia. The homosexual pair appeared in publication on the website of the shops of shops “Dvorilla”. The company issued a story about buyers, where he told about the family of four women – two lesbians, sister one of the girls and her mother. After that, many buyers also called on to boycott the brand and promised to complain to the propaganda of homosexuality in the “competent authorities”. The network decided to apologize for the publication and deleted it, which also caused criticism, but on the part of supporting LGBT people.
