Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Kuwait face significant challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Same-sex sexual activity between men is specifically outlawed and LGBT individuals may also be targeted under the public morality laws. LGBT persons are regularly prosecuted by the government and additionally face discrimination and stigmatization by officials and amongst the broader population.
