Homosexuality and transgender behavior are illegal in Saudi Arabia, with punishments including the death penalty, imprisonment, fines, and severe punishments like flogging. While enforcement varies, LGBTQ+ individuals face extreme risks, including torture and community violence, and the country's legal system is based on strict interpretations of Sharia law.
I remember in the 80s in the Western societies where gays were deliberately stalked by others for beatings and/or to be killed.
"Violence against gay men surged globally during the 1980s, driven by a combination of anti-LGBT sentiment, the AIDS epidemic, and systemic police inaction. In Sydney, Australia, a specific crime wave known as the Gay Gang Murders occurred between 1970 and 2010, with the peak activity from 1987 to 1999, where gangs of teenagers targeted gay men at beaches and parks, allegedly throwing victims off cliffs at Marks Park, Tamarama" (LLM)
"High-Profile Cases: The 1988 murder of Scott Johnson, an American mathematician, was a focal point; initially ruled a suicide, a 2017 inquest reclassified it as a hate crime and confirmed he was pushed off a cliff by a gang."
