LGBT rights in Kuwait
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Kuwait face significant challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents.

LGBT persons are regularly prosecuted by the government and additionally face discrimination and stigmatization by officials and amongst the broader population.
