There is actually a quite large gay Arab community both here and abroad. I have seen several documentaries about how they have to hide in the middle east and try to get out to get to western countries so they can be open...but even then it is not easy because of the discrimination and hate from others in the Arab community. Something else Arabs and Christians seem to have in common...
