Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ) individuals in Jordan face legal challenges and discrimination not experienced by non-LGBT persons.

[4] In 1951, a revision of the Jordanian Criminal Code legalized private, adult, non-commercial, and consensual sodomy, with the age of consent set at 18, regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation.

[5] As of 2013, the newly revised Penal Code makes honor killings, as a legal justification for murder, illegal.

[6] The Jordanian penal code gives the police discretion when it comes to protecting the public peace, which has sometimes been used against gay people organizing social events.

[7] The first time that the Jordanian government made any public statement regarding LGBT rights was at the Fourth World Conference on Women held in 1995.

In the twenty-first century, a Jordanian male model, Khalid, publicly came out and has been supportive of a general interest gay-themed magazine published in Jordan.

Journalist Dan Littauer writes on his official Facebook page, regarding Qatar's attempts of hushing local medias, and freedom of the press.

The magazine regularly features non-LGBT artists on their covers to promote acceptance among other communities and was the first publication to give many underground and regional artists their first covers like Yasmine Hamdan,[23] lead singer of the band Mashrou' Leila, Hamed Sinno,[24] Alaa Wardi,[25] Zahed Sultan[26] and many more.

[27] In 2023, a Jordanian MP stated as a guest on a national Television Program that people who "promote Homosexuality" should be burned alive, which caused some controversy.
