Dubai and gays

  • People need to respect the different cultures of the countries they are visiting.
    Being a “visitor” in a hosting country where you go to work for a period of time for living and enjoy the tax free privilege should at least provoke the interest to respect the country and it’s culture you are staying in.
    Is it fair or not fair to allow homosexuality in Dubai or any Islamic/Arabic country is not our topic here?
    As a visitor you have certain limits of freedom and you need to show respect.
    Imagine what are the messages you are sending to kids and other teenage while showing affection and sexual acts in public? Dubai and UAE in general is very family oriented place.
    Think about the people around you who can be offended of such acts. In the Arab culture, it is not acceptable to show sexual acts in public and we should respect that.
    We are not judging which culture is the best but the point is respect is very important and every one in a hosting country should act within the limitation and mandates offered by the country.
    If you have any disagreements probably it is not your place to be in!!!
