Intolerance Of Gays Continues Among The Arab Troglodytes

[JStone]

Arabs worship as The Perfect Man to be emulated the so-called, er, "prophet" muhammad who married a 6 year old girl when he was in his 50s and boasted of "fondling virgins," which in most civilized cultures constitutes pedophilia, but, they cannot accept gays in the 21st century? Which is worse?





"Slow Thaw For Gays In Arab World. There Is More Awareness Now That Gay Arabs Do Existt And That The Challenges Posed by Sexual Nonconformity Won't Go Away."

Although gay Arabs have been generally supportive of the Arab Spring, the Arab Spring has not been very supportive of gay Arabs. But because the activists among them see themselves as part of a broader struggle, they face the question of how much they should set aside their gay activism while fighting for bigger and more immediate goals.

This question came up last November when a Facebook group wanted to declare January 1 as Egypt's National Gay Day. A blogger in Cairo called Nilesby wrote: "Is shocking people this way going to support our cause, or harm it? Is the time ever 'right'? ... I do think there are times that are more appropriate than others. There are also ways more appropriate than others. How to measure this 'appropriateness'? I have no idea."
