Saudi Arabia: Emergence of "Weird" Fashions Makes it Hard to Distinguish Gays From Straight People.....

Western liberal outrage in 1..2...3...98...125....9,826....ahh fuck it.....

The absence of accurate statistics showing the number of homosexuals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; doesn't mean there are no homosexuals there. The drive for concealing this issue is the social stigma and the moral and religious stance.

Nevertheless, some indications prove that homosexuality has penetrated the conservative Saudi society. And now especially, after the ban on discussing the issue in the media has been lifted, homosexuality is now tackled in an unprecedented, open way in medical and social conferences.

Such openness revealed that homosexuality in KSA is not limited to gays and lesbians, but a third type has appeared between women, known as 'boyat' – plural for the English word 'boy' in Arabic form–, the fourth sex or transsexuals.

Thamer Al-Saykhan, a columnist for Al-Haya newspaper, warned about new ways of expressing homosexuality that are nowcategorized as 'fashion'.

In the past, he says, homosexuals wouldn't show their homosexuality for fear of the social grip, so their numbers and their groupings were much less. Now with the emergence of weird fads and patterns of dress that are viewed as 'fashion', it became hard to distinguish homosexuals from others.

The same weird fads may be worn by gays from the view that it suits them, and may be worn by other in the view that it is fashion. Wrapping up his talk he said that "thanks to fashion, we can no longer differentiate between a gay and an elegant person."

In contrast, Saleh Bin Rumaih, Professor of sociology at King Saud University, thinks that our Islamic society – thanks to God – rejects such phenomena and fights them. Speaking to IslamOnline.net, he said that "Islam – and society as well - is the impenetrable fence in countering such phenomena."
