89% of Palestinians believe homosexual behavior is immoral according to The World’s Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society by PEW Research Center, page 81. Only 1% find it morally acceptable.
This section appears to be inaccurate. There are three references listed. The first primary source referenced lists not the IDF as blackmailing LGBT individuals, but the Palestinian Authority Police, so this should be corrected. The second claim that the Israel Defense Forces pry into internet activity or phone calls to specifically weed out LGBT people is not mentioned anywhere in the reference material at all, and appears to be an unsupported claim. The third reference is listed in apparent support of the final statement, but is a Guardian article reporting on government surveillance in general, not of LGBT people, in the Palestinian Territories. One could mention that the Israeli government has perhaps intercepted phone or internet activity for monitoring in general, but that discussion wouldn't be relevant in an LGBT article unless it specifically had to do with LGBT people or rights, or it was demonstrated in some way that LGBT people were being targeted by the Israeli government or IDF. The Guardian article mentions that one of the monitors was trained to recognize the word for "gay" and notes that potentially compromising information on surveillance targets was collected, "juicy" info as he put it, but it appears as well, from this article, that people weren't targeted for being gay, but were targeted for other reasons, then general information was collected on them that could be controversial. So, the claim that the IDF was targeting gay people is unsupported. Indeed, the article only talks about personal information in general that was collected: "difficult financial situation, sexual preferences, a person’s chronic illness or that of a relative, and necessary medical treatment", and doesn't specify that sexuality was especially used.
Therefore, the first sentence is being corrected to reflect the reference material that is cited. The second sentence, which claims Israel surveils specifically to target LGBT people is not supported by the reference material, is being removed entirely. The third sentence, quoting an Israeli Intelligence Corps officer, talking about gathering information on an individual that interests them incorrectly misleads the reader into thinking they have been targeted for being LGBT, which is not supported by the references, and although the quote may be accurate, it is not relevant to the subject of this article, so is being removed.

Greetings, I responded to a friend's complaint that these sections were deleted from an anonymous IP without explanation; indeed, there is no explanations in this talk page at all.

I do not think it is controversial to mention pink washing if you use reliable sources to describe the definition of pink washing. whether you agree if pink washing exists, or if it is malignant, it is relevant to the discussion of LGBTQ activism in Palestine and Israel. Reliable sources on defining pink washing include: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/23/opinion/pinkwashing-and-israels-use-of-gays-as-a-messaging-tool.html http://homonationalism.org/about-the-conference/ Political opinions aside, the City University of New York and the New York Times are trusted sources to at least learn about definitions of terms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcgreenberg ( talk • contribs) 16:42, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Absolutely true, I’m with you! This is outragous, it seems that censorship is no longer just censorship. And vandalism is actually what’s happeneing when not all information / true information is allowed to be added. Shumanwales ( talk) 16:38, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
I noticed that the claim made here is actually inconsistent with the document cited. The fact is that male homosexuality was de-criminalized in the West Bank when it was under annexation by Jordan. The ILGA association document clearly states that male homosexuality is legal in the West Bank, which is accurate. Hence claiming that "Palestinian Authority law prohibits sexual relations between two men" is false (given that the PA controls the West Bank). Male homosexuality is indeed illegal in Gaza, which is also accurately reflected in the ILGA document.
I notice that User:I.Casaubon who made the inaccurate edit [1] seems to be a consistently controversial editor. I recommend we return to User:Wikignome0530 version of Jan 29, 2009 [2] or similar. I plan to make this edit in the coming days Yavanna of Valinor ( talk) 06:54, 30 October 2011 (UTC).

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of LGBT rights in the Palestinian territories's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "ILGA":
ILGA is informed that executions for same-sex sexual conduct (generally referring to hadd punishments) have not been implemented in either Qatar or UAE.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:06, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

There are several instances in this page (see media/cultural and activism sections) where the content deals with LBGT rights in Israel, not the Palestinian territories. While there might be some importance in mentioning LBGT rights in Israel in context with LBGT rights in the Palestinian territories, I think some of the content on this page should be moved or edited to better represent the page topic which in this case deals exclusively with LBGT rights in the Palestinian territories. I removed one sentence from the family section that dealt with the LBGT scene in Tel-Aviv as it was not only irrelevant to the Palestinian territories, but the way it was worded "least prejudiced against in the area" could lead readers to believe that LBGTs are least prejudiced against within the Palestinian territories, whereas that assertion is not backed by a reliable source... but there are other more ambiguous sentences that perhaps others can help edit. For the media section, the films are Israeli films, and deal with LBGT issues in Israel, and while the inclusion of Palestinian characters is noteworthy, I think these films would best be placed under LBGT rights in Israel, as opposed to the Palestinian territories. If any of the films are relevant to LBGT rights within the Palestinian territories, perhaps someone can add those details and what content in the films deals with that subject. Under the activism section, the groups mentioned are headquartered either in W. Jerusalem or Haifa which are not considered to be Palestinian territories, so perhaps the section can be edited to highlight what work they have done within the Palestinian territories, to make it more relevant to the page.

Clearly, in 1951 this cannot refer neither to State of Palestine nor to the Palestinian Authority. There was Jordanian West Bank and Egyptian-controlled All-Palestine Protectorate. When was some legislation provided in modern West Bank? GreyShark ( dibra) 15:31, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Dr. Mohmad: Stop edit warring and bring the discussion here. You want to add into the article that same-sex sexual activity is illegal in the West Bank. If you're confusing it with the August 2019 ban by the PA, from my understanding, the ban of "LGBT activities" is in regard to activism.

Calling the Palestinian authority the Palestinian state, the Palestinians are occupied and don’t have a state or autonomy. Calling the Palestinian authority “the Palestinian state” is misleading making it sound like the Palestinians are living in freedom of rights.
Let’s be honest and call it the name it is, the Palestinian authority. A T5345588 ( talk) 17:40, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
Hamas is a terror organization that force itself upon the poor Palestinians. Why not saying things the way they are? The EU listed Hamas as one of the world wide terror organizations. The USA recognizes it. And the rest of the world as well. A T5345588 ( talk) 17:42, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
It appears that someone removed the reference to British Mandate Criminal Code Ordinance No. 74 of 1936, Section 152 in the second paragraph of "Criminal law and civil rights" of this article, despite that being in the cited source. Does this constitute vandalism, and if so, can we revert it? MyonyMyon ( talk) 15:05, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
The article states that homosexuality is punishable by a 10-year penalty according to Section 152 of the penal code, citing Amnesty International. However, this information is outdated as Amnesty International has removed the quote from their webpage.
the English version of the penal code is viewable here:
Quoting the answer from from https://law.stackexchange.com/a/96791/52752:
"In the section 152 of the penal code:
Additionally, the absence of reported cases of people being tried for sodomy in Gaza raises doubts about whether "carnal knowledge against the order of nature" is currently interpreted as sodomy.
But it is likely the case, since in countries with similar laws, like Botswana, where "carnal knowledge against the order of nature" was challenged for vagueness. The court upheld it's definition to mean anal sex. https://www.law.utoronto.ca/sites/default/files/documents/reprohealth/botswana_2019_decriminalize_homosexuality.pdf
Bowad91017 ( talk) 01:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
The beginning of the article previously stated:
"In the Gaza Strip and West Bank, the local [[LGBT community]] faces a precarious situation due to the general lack of civil rights legislation aimed at tackling discrimination. However, there is also a significant legal divide.."
The underlined portion is pure opinion, and should not be included in future versions of this article.

I have edited the lead to place a greater emphasis on the lived reality of LGBT people in Palestine as opposed to the theoretical legal situation. Charlie Campbell 28 ( talk) 08:32, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
disregarding that many of the criteria of statehood are not met, doesn't that also suggest that gaza is not part of palestine? also, the recent debates over palestinian statehood (two state solution, "give the palestinians a state", etc) seem to reflect a widely adopted view that there (currently) is no such thing as a palestinian state. 2001:4BB8:2DC:7B87:0:0:51:BABD ( talk) 00:04, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
It is highly worth noting that Queering the Map is a community mapping platform, on which anyone may submit a location and a story, regardless of their actual location in the world - so long as it follows moderation. [1] [2]
Its data should not be taken for granted.
Current quote:
During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, some Palestinians, who considered themselves part of the LGBT community, shared information in anonymously geotagged posts on Queering the Map. It was said that this provided a "rare glimpse" into perspectives of queer Palestinians, with many messages expressing solidarity with the Palestinian liberation cause. Others said that Palestinians were sharing their "last words" on the platform.

Following discussion of Queering the Map, the below revision suggestion was put fourth to be replaced under Israeli-Plaestinian conflict, Queering the Map, to tone down biased language when it comes to presenting its data as facts, and include more context on the platform's authenticity of data:
During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, some Palestinians, who considered themselves part of the LGBT community, shared information in anonymously geotagged posts on Queering the Map. It was said that this provided a "rare glimpse" into perspectives of queer Palestinians, with many messages expressing solidarity with the Palestinian liberation cause. Others said that Palestinians were sharing their "last words" on the platform.
During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, anonymous individuals identifying as part of the Palestinian LGBT community shared geotagged posts on Queering the Map, a community-based online collaborative and counter-mapping platform. Queering the Map allows submissions from anyone, regardless of their actual location, and while moderated–the authenticity of stories is not verified [6]. According to Time, this provided a "rare glimpse" into perspectives of queer Palestinians, with many messages expressing solidarity with the Palestinian liberation cause [7]. Others stated that Palestinians were sharing their "last words" on the platform. [8]
The above revision provides more, detailed context regarding the nature and potential authenticity of the aforementioned posts, and presents them in a more objective view. It also expands on internal references to other pages for clarification of the idea of "geomapping" and alike. Swpznpe ( talk) 13:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

There are several instances in this page (see media/cultural and activism sections) where the content deals with LBGT rights in Israel, not the Palestinian territories. While there might be some importance in mentioning LBGT rights in Israel in context with LBGT rights in the Palestinian territories, I think some of the content on this page should be moved or edited to better represent the page topic which in this case deals exclusively with LBGT rights in the Palestinian territories. I removed one sentence from the family section that dealt with the LBGT scene in Tel-Aviv as it was not only irrelevant to the Palestinian territories, but the way it was worded "least prejudiced against in the area" could lead readers to believe that LBGTs are least prejudiced against within the Palestinian territories, whereas that assertion is not backed by a reliable source... but there are other more ambiguous sentences that perhaps others can help edit. For the media section, the films are Israeli films, and deal with LBGT issues in Israel, and while the inclusion of Palestinian characters is noteworthy, I think these films would best be placed under LBGT rights in Israel, as opposed to the Palestinian territories. If any of the films are relevant to LBGT rights within the Palestinian territories, perhaps someone can add those details and what content in the films deals with that subject. Under the activism section, the groups mentioned are headquartered either in W. Jerusalem or Haifa which are not considered to be Palestinian territories, so perhaps the section can be edited to highlight what work they have done within the Palestinian territories, to make it more relevant to the page.

The result of the move request was: move the page to LGBT rights in the State of Palestine, per the discussion below. A redirect has been created from the originally proposed title. Dekimasu よ! 23:22, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Clearly, in 1951 this cannot refer neither to State of Palestine nor to the Palestinian Authority. There was Jordanian West Bank and Egyptian-controlled All-Palestine Protectorate. When was some legislation provided in modern West Bank? GreyShark ( dibra) 15:31, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Dr. Mohmad: Stop edit warring and bring the discussion here. You want to add into the article that same-sex sexual activity is illegal in the West Bank. If you're confusing it with the August 2019 ban by the PA, from my understanding, the ban of "LGBT activities" is in regard to activism.

Calling the Palestinian authority the Palestinian state, the Palestinians are occupied and don’t have a state or autonomy. Calling the Palestinian authority “the Palestinian state” is misleading making it sound like the Palestinians are living in freedom of rights.
Let’s be honest and call it the name it is, the Palestinian authority. A T5345588 ( talk) 17:40, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
Hamas is a terror organization that force itself upon the poor Palestinians. Why not saying things the way they are? The EU listed Hamas as one of the world wide terror organizations. The USA recognizes it. And the rest of the world as well. A T5345588 ( talk) 17:42, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
It appears that someone removed the reference to British Mandate Criminal Code Ordinance No. 74 of 1936, Section 152 in the second paragraph of "Criminal law and civil rights" of this article, despite that being in the cited source. Does this constitute vandalism, and if so, can we revert it? MyonyMyon ( talk) 15:05, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
The article states that homosexuality is punishable by a 10-year penalty according to Section 152 of the penal code, citing Amnesty International. However, this information is outdated as Amnesty International has removed the quote from their webpage.
the English version of the penal code is viewable here:
Quoting the answer from from https://law.stackexchange.com/a/96791/52752:
"In the section 152 of the penal code:
Additionally, the absence of reported cases of people being tried for sodomy in Gaza raises doubts about whether "carnal knowledge against the order of nature" is currently interpreted as sodomy.
But it is likely the case, since in countries with similar laws, like Botswana, where "carnal knowledge against the order of nature" was challenged for vagueness. The court upheld it's definition to mean anal sex. https://www.law.utoronto.ca/sites/default/files/documents/reprohealth/botswana_2019_decriminalize_homosexuality.pdf

The beginning of the article previously stated:
"In the Gaza Strip and West Bank, the local [[LGBT community]] faces a precarious situation due to the general lack of civil rights legislation aimed at tackling discrimination. However, there is also a significant legal divide.."
The underlined portion is pure opinion, and should not be included in future versions of this article.

I have edited the lead to place a greater emphasis on the lived reality of LGBT people in Palestine as opposed to the theoretical legal situation. Charlie Campbell 28 ( talk) 08:32, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
disregarding that many of the criteria of statehood are not met, doesn't that also suggest that gaza is not part of palestine? also, the recent debates over palestinian statehood (two state solution, "give the palestinians a state", etc) seem to reflect a widely adopted view that there (currently) is no such thing as a palestinian state. 2001:4BB8:2DC:7B87:0:0:51:BABD ( talk) 00:04, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
It is highly worth noting that Queering the Map is a community mapping platform, on which anyone may submit a location and a story, regardless of their actual location in the world - so long as it follows moderation. [1] [2]
Its data should not be taken for granted.
Current quote:
During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, some Palestinians, who considered themselves part of the LGBT community, shared information in anonymously geotagged posts on Queering the Map. It was said that this provided a "rare glimpse" into perspectives of queer Palestinians, with many messages expressing solidarity with the Palestinian liberation cause. Others said that Palestinians were sharing their "last words" on the platform.

Following discussion of Queering the Map, the below revision suggestion was put fourth to be replaced under Israeli-Plaestinian conflict, Queering the Map, to tone down biased language when it comes to presenting its data as facts, and include more context on the platform's authenticity of data:
During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, some Palestinians, who considered themselves part of the LGBT community, shared information in anonymously geotagged posts on Queering the Map. It was said that this provided a "rare glimpse" into perspectives of queer Palestinians, with many messages expressing solidarity with the Palestinian liberation cause. Others said that Palestinians were sharing their "last words" on the platform.
During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, anonymous individuals identifying as part of the Palestinian LGBT community shared geotagged posts on Queering the Map, a community-based online collaborative and counter-mapping platform. Queering the Map allows submissions from anyone, regardless of their actual location, and while moderated–the authenticity of stories is not verified [6]. According to Time, this provided a "rare glimpse" into perspectives of queer Palestinians, with many messages expressing solidarity with the Palestinian liberation cause [7]. Others stated that Palestinians were sharing their "last words" on the platform. [8]
The above revision provides more, detailed context regarding the nature and potential authenticity of the aforementioned posts, and presents them in a more objective view. It also expands on internal references to other pages for clarification of the idea of "geomapping" and alike. Swpznpe ( talk) 13:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
