The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:

A Houthi court in Dhamar, Yemen, has sentenced nine people to death on homosexuality charges, according to Amnesty International.

Checking Amnesty International:

Yemen: Huthis must stop executions and release dozens facing LGBTI charges On 23 January, the criminal court in Dhamar in northern Yemen sentenced nine individuals to death – with seven sentenced to be executed by stoning, and two by crucifixion – while 23 others were handed prison sentences between six months and 10 years on charges including “homosexuality”, “spreading immorality”, and “immoral acts”. On 1 February, the court of first instance in Ibb in southern Yemen handed death sentences to 13 students and flogging to three others on charges of ‘spreading homosexuality’.

But without any sources

The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:

"Additionally, a Houthi court in Ibb, Yemen, sentenced 13 students to death and three others to flogging for “spreading homosexuality,” according to Agence France-Presse (AFP)."

When you follow the link it leads to L´OrienteToday, and there are no sources in this web page

Looked in AFP site: NOTHING

The article in www.lgbtnation.com puts an image, if you read the caption it says:

Image released by ISIS showing citizens of Kirkuk stoning the lifeless body of a man executed for being gay.

Kirkuk is in Irak, and ISIS is known for doing this things, but it is not related to the "new". Where are Yemen images?

Given that the Houtis are kicking the ass of USA and UK´s Navy these "news" are too convenient. Saudi Arab and UAE used to do this and no news about it, suddenly this "news" about Yemen.

I do not buy it.
