LGBT in the Middle East
The rights and freedoms of homosexuals in the Middle East have rarely received much attention among the region's predominantly conservative societies. Several Middle Eastern countries have received strong international criticism for persecuting homosexuality by imprisonment and death. However, a number of Middle Eastern countries have also occasionally made small reforms. Israel has generally been the notable exception within the region of recognising LGBT rights.
==History==
Evidence of homosexuality in the Middle East can be traced back at least until the time of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
More recently in the medieval period and the early modern age, Middle Eastern societies saw a flourishing of homo-erotic literature. Shusha Guppy of the ''Times Higher Education Supplement'' has argued that "It has long been assumed that the Arab-Islamic societies have always been more tolerant of homosexuality than the West."〔Guppy, Shusha. "(Veiled might of the harem.(American University Press)(Before Homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic World, 1500-1800)(Book review) )" ((Archive only available to researchers and legal )). ''Times Higher Education Supplement'', June 9, 2006, Vol.0(1746), p.33(1). ISSN: 0049-3929. Source: Cengage Learning, Inc.〕 In the 19th and early 20th century, homosexual sexual contact was considered as relatively comming in the Middle East. Not least strengthened by the fact that there was significant sex segregation between men and women, which made heterosexual encounters outside marriage more difficult.〔Klauda, Georg (English translation by Angelus Novus). "(Globalizing Homophobia )" ((Archive )). ''MRZine'', ''Monthly Review''. 08.12.10. Previous version appeared in ''Phase 2'' No. 10 (December 2003). Also published as the first chapter of ''Die Vertreibung aus dem Serail: Europa und die Heteronormalisierung der islamischen Welt'' (Berlin: Männerschwarm-Verlag, 2008). Start page (15 ).Retrieved on June 26, 2014.〕 According to Guppy, "In the pre-modern era, Western travellers were amazed to find Islam "a sex-positive religion" and men openly expressing their love for young boys in words and gestures."〔 Georg Klauda wrote that "Countless writers and artists such as André Gide, Oscar Wilde, Edward M. Forster, and Jean Genet made pilgrimages in the 19th and 20th centuries from homophobic Europe to Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, and various other Arab countries, where homosexual sex was not only met without any discrimination or subcultural ghettoization whatsoever, but rather, additionally as a result of rigid segregation of the sexes, seemed to be available on every corner."〔
