Illegal to sleep with lao citizens

[Brisboy82]

I have read so many warnings saying it's illegal to sleep with any lao citizen whether they are male or female and that the charge is very real and serious. When I first explored the lao gay scene this made me a bit apprehensive.

However I have found the gay scene in Laos to be very friendly and interactive and I know one lao-farang gay couple in luang prabang who have lived together there openly as a couple for several years and own a bar and guesthouse there. They say they have never had any concerns or problems with any authorities.

So what is the deal with the supposed 'very serious' laws regarding this?
