There are no "out" gay people living in Saudi Arabia, because they would be executed or sentenced to life in prison. But among the closeted population, it's estimated to be the same number as any other society: about 3% to 8% of people are gay. That works out to about 1.6 million Saudis who are gay.

∙ 11y agoSince being gay is a capital offense in Saudi Arabia (i.e. they kill you if you admit to it) Saudi Arabia has an official percentage of gays that is 0%. Of course, like most Saudi statistics, this is probably far from the mark. (See the discussion for more details.)
The amount of people likely to be closeted gay in Saudi Arabia are probably a few hundred thousand. This is a very small percentage of the Saudi population, but considering that being gay is considered so abhorrent in that country, most people would rather chalk up their aversion to the opposite gender as hormonal or something else.
