LGBT rights in Jordan
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in Jordan are considered to be relatively advanced, compared to most other countries in the Middle East. Same-sex sexual activity was legalized in 1951, and a general interest gay magazine is published in Jordan. However, most LGBT persons face social discrimination not experienced by non-LGBT residents. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Where is it illegal to be gay? )〕
==Criminal laws==
In 1951, a revision of the Jordanian Criminal Code legalized private, adult, non-commercial, and consensual sodomy, with the age of consent set at 16.〔[Schmitt, Arno & Sofer, Jehoeda, 1992, ''Sexuality and Eroticism Among Males in Moslem Societies'', Binghamton: Harrington Park Press, 1992, ISBN 0-918393-91-4, pages 137-138.〕
The Jordanian penal code no longer permits family members to beat or kill a member of their own family whose "illicit" sexuality is interpreted as bringing "dishonor" to the entire family. As of 2013, the newly revised Penal Code makes honor killings, as a legal justification for murder, illegal.〔[http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19443398/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/t/jordan-courts-sentence-honor-killings/#.UPsbpPJyGSo]〕
