Original Note:
It is misleading to say that Hamas is merely intolerant of the gay community. They execute gay people & it is punished by up to 5 years in prison. Scholar Timea Spitka stated that in Gaza, coming out is a "death sentence" because police do not act against queerphobic violence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_State_of_Palestine?wprov=sfti1#Civil_rights_and_violence
