Gay rights in morocco

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in Morocco face significant challenges not experienced by non-LGBTQ residents. Both male and female forms of same-sex sexual activity are illegal in Morocco.

Homosexual acts are illegal in Morocco, punishable by up to three years in prison – and while this law tends to be more strictly enforced for locals, tourists are not exempt from these restrictions. It’s essential to understand that the Moroccan LGBT community faces significant persecution.
