Some 83% of #LGBTQ+ Israeli Arabs are in the closet and 72% say their families don't support them, according to the first-ever comprehensive study of the LGBTQ+ community among Israeli Arabs.
The study, conducted by the Israeli Institute for #Gender and LGBTQ+ Studies at the Agudah - The Association for LGBTQ #Equality in #Israel, presents an up-to-date picture of the situation of LGBTQ+ people in the Arab sector. The LGBTQ+ community in the Arab sector is estimated to number about 100,000 to 125,000 citizens and the study involved about 167 members of the Arab LGBTQ+ community in Israel.
