Violent Flip-Flop:
Here’s a queer turn around. Two Bahraini men are accused of beating and robbing a Saudi national after luring him into a sexual situation. Police claim they were going to have sex with the 37-year old, but then decided to rob him instead. [GDN]
That should give some evidence as to how wide spread antigay sentiment really is in Moslem countries. Had the gay man been afraid of persecution , he would not have gone to the authorities so readily.
It’s just a handle among others for persecution in dictatorships. Actal prejudice is more widespread here in America.
