Same-sex Sexual Acts
Section 151 of The Penal Code says,
Any person who -
(a) has carnal knowledge of any person against the order of nature; or
* * * *
(c) permits a male person to have carnal knowledge of him ... against the order of nature,
is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years.
Female same-sex sexual acts are not covered by Section 151 or any other criminal law of the Seychelles.
In October 2011, the government agreed to decriminalize same-sex sexual acts "pretty soon, as the government and civil society want so."

Famous quotes containing the word acts:
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
