Personal experience

I lived in Damascus for six weeks to improve my arabic. I've been several times to a gay cinema in the center near Marjeh called "Byblos". Everybody working there is gay. People told me that the police is not a problem, I should rather be aware of pick-pockets. The main problem for gay men seems to be rather the strong anti-gay attitude of the society than police.

I've also lived in Damascus to improve my Arabic. Been to the cheap movie theatre you are talking about at Marjeh. But you should worry a little bit about the police, not because your gay, but because the theatre is used for hooking up often, a sex-act in public could lead to arrest or a fine. Try the bar that has a view of the Marjeh square, it's the second floor, with the bird market on the street to the left, not the street to the right where there is an entrance to the bar. Many gay men hang out there, it's not teaming like in the West at a bar, but they are discreetly there. Syrians are pretty tolerant on Middle Eastern standards. Syrian gay men are very lucky in comparison to other countries. The government has some great liberal factions that respect these people.--ILovetheMiddleEastToo (talk) 03:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Note

This is right. The law is suspended and no one in the gay community up to my knowledge was arrested or persecuted by authorities. There are entire gay bars, restuarants, parks, cinemas and it is just OK. The main problem that gay people might face is the rightwinged ordinary people..

Fair use rationale for Image:SyrianSameSexSociety.jpg

Image:SyrianSameSexSociety.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Orphaned references in LGBT rights in Syria

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of LGBT rights in Syria's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ILGA":

• From LGBT rights in India: "ILGA/RIWI Global Attitudes Survey on LGBTI People" (PDF). www.ilga.org. International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association. 31 December 2016.
• From LGBT rights by country or territory: "State Sponsored Homophobia 2016: A world survey of sexual orientation laws: criminalisation, protection and recognition" (PDF). International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association. 17 May 2016. Retrieved 19 May 2016.
• From LGBT rights in China: STATE-SPONSORED HOMOPHOBIA
• From LGBT rights in the United Arab Emirates: "State Sponsored Homophobia 2016: A world survey of sexual orientation laws: criminalisation, protection and recognition" (PDF). International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association. 17 May 2016. p. 37. Retrieved 19 May 2016. ILGA is informed that executions for same-sex sexual conduct (generally referring to hadd punishments) have not been implemented in either Qatar or UAE.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:17, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
