arrested and then do what with?

Doing the same thing in 2017, people were put in prison for 1-6 years

That's wild how far people will go just to "catch" people who are minding their own business.

Arresting humans for having the apparent audacity to even exist.. Disgusting.  I hope the youth of the world continue to turn away from the lies, oppression, and sadism of organized religion.

arrested for what? meeting with each other?

the only reason this is happening is 100% by closeted men in power. no straight man who is okay with their sexuality would do all that

This is inhumane! They’re not hurting anyone or breaking the law. This is so upsetting hearing in 2023! 
 

Yes, America has our issues but atleast we aren’t like this! :saladga:

Ive been curious to visit Egypt but I’ll never go there now. It’s so sad that gay people have to actively monitor which destinations might be dangerous for us. Straight people totally take for granted their ability to travel anywhere without fear.

I'm currently travelling SE Asia, just visited Cambodia and went to Angkor Wat. It was absolutely magical and made me think I'd love to visit Egypt and explore the pyramids and ancient ruins, very sad hearing this news I def won't be going.

That is terrible. Especially for the locals. Like, how they can find somebody now with this app and probably another dating app infiltrated? 

For visitors, I guess LGBTQ++ people who really have to visit countries like these for whatever reason, really need to stay away from dating app while they were in these soils. Stay away from hooking up during your stay. Please be safe. :(
