Found this as a stub with only an external link - nothing else. I'm turning it into an actual page, using a format copied from Gay rights in Ecuador. There are already a number of "gay rights by country" pages. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 08:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opening line

The opening line of this article: "LGBT rights in Egypt are limited to nonexistent, because homosexuality is strictly taboo in Egypt" is neither grammatical nor particularly insightful. I have amended it accordingly. --Augustusr (talk) 14:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

The article also needs updating with respect to the last series of arrests of HIV-positive men "accused" of homosexuality. — Zerida 22:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
