Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) persons in Kuwait may face challenges not experienced by non-LGBT Kuwaitis. Homosexuality is not specifically outlawed but homosexuals are prosecuted under the "debauchery" law. ==Law== The penal code contains some general provisions against debauchery and immorality that can be used to punish LGBT people. * Article 193 of the Penal Code punishes debauchery (which is interpreted by the courts to mean male homosexuality) with up to six years imprisonment. * Article 198 prohibits "imitating the appearance of a member of the opposite sex" with fines and or imprisonment. Criminal laws regulating the press, publishers, Internet and all other forms of media, contain provisions banning images, content or the expression of ideas that offend public morality. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LGBT rights in Kuwait」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
