Lesbianism in Kuwait. I came across this figure in a book on lesbianism in Kuwait (As-Suhaq wa-l-Bagha' fi Ash-Shari`ah wa-l-Falsafah by `Aliyah Shu`ayb): 53% of female respondents in Kuwait stated that they would have loved another woman if it was not for the opposition of religion and society to lesbianism.(p. 119)
