Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in Djibouti face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBTQ residents.

Although Djibouti does not explicitly criminalise homosexuality, LGBTQ persons still face stigmatization among the broader population.

Although there is no law that mentions that same-sex sexual activity is legal or illegal, this doesn't prevent the authorities to prosecute the public display of same-sex sexual conduct under laws prohibiting attacks on “good morals".

119/AN/15/7L establishing a Credit Information System protects sexual orientation as sensitive data.

Such sensitive data includes, among others, racial or ethnic origin, political, philosophical or religious opinions or trade union membership, as well as information relating to a person’s sexual orientation or health.
