Much like other small Gulf Stat the Arabian pensula fdg recent and -pth stori about gay life is not easy.
The biggt public kerfluffle about homosexualy Qatar recent years has not ncerned any gay executns, wch hunts, persecutn or mands for gay marriage.

WHAT N I EXPECT LIVG AS A GAY EXPAT DOHA?
Simply put, if a foreigner wants to be openly gay Qatar his life will be very difficult (if not impossible).
If they are gog to be gay private should not provoke any reactn. However, even if a gay person is most and discreet he (unlikely she) may be targeted by foul-md lol Qatari men for any number of reasons such as blackmail, money, sexual abe or relig enmy. For foreigners, beg sgle over the age of 30 is a spic cue; drsg wh some fashn, beg well groomed, sg at others, beg gentle and pole n be nsted as gay tras.
In the mid-2000’s a Fnish gay man was sced and eventually entrapped by a “geo” Qatari man who at first offered him alhol then hashish and eventually sex–“many tim”. One eveng another geo guy showed up wh him and thgs got out of hand and the expat found himself arrted–bee he was gay?
