The Dubai police force's new anti-gay crack down plan seems to be working: "Police in the Gulf tourist hub of Dubai say they've detained 17 foreigners for allegedly displaying homosexual behavior in malls and other public places. Police spokesman Zuhair Horoun says all the suspects are men who were either visiting or working in Dubai… Dubai's Gulf News reported Thursday that police detained '40 cross-dressing tourists.' The paper quotes Dubai's police chief as saying the arrests are part of a campaign against 'transvestites.'" [AP]

The average 'religous' dbag still can't differentiate between gay man and transgendered person. I hope they choke.
The place is hell on earth, its the Las Vegas of the UAE. In the next decade or so the bubble will burst and it with be a crumbling ghost town.
Gay man and transgendered person, these guys probably just had long hair. What do you think they were really doing?
Westerners need to stop spending money in Dubai. They are trying to make themselves out to be a playground. Yeah, a hellish fascist one.
I would never insult Las Vegas by comparing it to Dubai.
Besides, Dubai is much more like Orlando (if it were ran by Islamic fundamentalists instead of the Christian variety).
That's crazy news. I'm sure Dubai could make lots of money from gay tourists, too, so it's even more unusual that they would do this …
what is their definition of "displaying homosexual behavior"?
Wait isn't Karl Langerfeld and Georgio Armani working there? Will they be arrested too, or are you exempt if you bring in fame and money.
Everyone leave that place now! and then watch them cry…breasts and penises oh my!
