[edit] Personal experience
I lived in Damascus for six weeks to improve my arabic. I've been several times to a gay cinema in the center near Marjeh called "Byblos". Everybody working there is gay. People told me that the police is not a problem, I should rather be aware of pick-pockets. The main problem for gay men seems to be rather the strong anti-gay attitude of the society than police.

[edit] Note
This is right. The law is suspended and no one in the gay community up to my knowledge was arrested or persecuted by authorities. There are entire gay bars, restuarants, parks, cinemas and it is just OK. The main problem that gay people might face is the rightwinged ordinary people..
