Are LGBT rights finally starting to improve in the Middle East?

I slowly began telling one friend after the other asking them to keep it to themselves and eventually told enough that I felt it wasn't fair to my family. I mean, I wouldn't want my mom dad or siblings entering a room and have someone whisper into another's ear, 'his son'a a fag and he doesn't even know it' or any other comment for that matter. More than that it was for me that I told them, and once I did it was something I wouldn't deny. If someone asked I'd tell the truth. It took about 2 days for the entire country to find out.

 

As I said in Kuwait you can't be prosecuted for being gay, you can be for engaging in homosexual behavior.

Yeah thats how it is everywhere. But like wouldn’t it be easier for them to lock you up if they wanted to? I mean even on false charges?

as I said it doesn't suffice to have a video or image leak, as per Shari'a law there must be the obligatory 3 (4?) witnesses testifying under Islamic oath that they confirm/support whatever accusation was something that occured in their presence and awareness.

What makes you think it is better/worse? The police here used to use Grindr to arrest gay men. 

I never said anything suggesting anything of the sort, simply certain distinctions between the 2. Please don't take what you read and infer baseless assumptions.

Well, I asked about the differences between the 2 situations. I didn’t assume that you thought it was better/worse. Read again. Being rude is not always cool. 

Have a good day.
