Gimme More 33,880 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Homosexuality is illegal in the United Arab Emirates, and in Dubai it’s punishable with up to ten years in jail. Ever since Secret Love Song and Secret Love Song pt. II were released in 2016, the songs have been anthems for the LGBTQ community, with relatable lyrics about having to hide away love. And as Little Mix performed the hit song during a concert in Dubai, lighting up screens surrounding them was the Pride flag. As part of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai has strict laws concerning homosexuality and the promotion of LGBTQ imagery, with people facing a jail term of up to ten years, but this did not deter the group. Little Mix fans on Twitter reacted overwhelmingly positively to the band’s performance. @LMGlobaINews thanked the band for ‘the love and support you’ve showed the LGBTQ+ community through the years’. ‘Little Mix really performed secret love song, the national lhbt+ anthem, with a huge pride flag behind them in Dubai’, wrote another Twitter user. ‘They really did : that and I’m so grateful.’ Another fan remarked that she had ‘never seen a huge rainbow flag BG in Dubai before, while an iconic LGBTQ anthem is being sung’. here's a video of the performance from the show (it is not very clear) here's a clear version of a different performance so you can hear the song properly such a beautiful song #JusticeForBritney ♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thotiana 872 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I’m glad they weren’t afraid to express how they feel there. I heard Dubai is a beautiful place. But I would never set a foot in that place. Unless of course things change later. Money from my pockets won’t go into a country that treats its LGBTQ community like trash. No ma’am.

Guest Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Let's not forget that Mariah was allowed to perform in Saudi Arabia, where gays are still executed. in that case it was to give the illusion of progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
