8. Egypt
While being gay in Egypt is not technically illegal, the country has a lot of laws regarding sexual conduct that are punishable by law if broken by citizens. A lot of these sexual conduct laws can be applied to homosexual acts, and sadly police raids and arrests are not uncommon. There have been instances of groups of men being charged with acts of debauchery, otherwise known as “extreme indulgence in sensuality.” Basically they got arrested for having a consensual orgy. So while Egypt has not specifically banned homosexual acts, they have laws they can hide beside to persecute them if they please.
