Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Djibouti may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents.

[edit] Laws regarding same-sex sexual activity

The law regarding same-sex sexual acts in Djibouti is unclear.[1]

[edit] Living conditions

The U.S. Department of State's 2010 Human Rights Report found that "there were no known reports of societal violence or discrimination based on sexual orientation. Societal norms did not allow for the public discussion of homosexuality, and persons did not openly acknowledge having a homosexual orientation."[2]
