9. Egypt
In a 2013 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, it has been found that a staggering 95% of all Egyptians believe that homosexuality is unacceptable. Egypt’s attitude towards LGBT is described by the travel website Frommer’s as being schizophrenic, the reason being is that on one hand, male homosexuality is considered a taboo but male-to-male sexual relations are not treated as a big deal. However, people who are identified as being outed homosexuals can face discrimination.
In recent years, however, Egypt’s security forces have been cracking down the LGBT community more rigorously than before with reports of arrests and even harassment.
