Q: Okayyyy... So me and my boyfriend are going to the Middle East, and i heard they are against gays or something. Can anyone give me the real story and what can and cant we do in public. THANKS!!!
A: Hmm! This is interesting... Okay, so here's the thing.. it's against religion in the Middle East to be LGBT, but there are a few countries with gay bars, gay bars here (the Middle East) doesn't mean gay couples can kiss or so, but they can hold hands, and gay bars also doesn't mean that you can go to the hotel concierge and ask them for directions to a gay bar! It is known among the locals which bars are for gay people and which aren't. act like you are two buddies hanging out at the mall or at a club or a cafe` or anything, it is actually more common for two guys or two girls to hang out by themselves than a guy and a girl, because it is also against tradition that a girl can have a boyfriend! if you want, you can e-mail me which country you're going to, and if it's my country I can give you a couple of names to gay bars. Oh and by the way, straight people also go to gay bars! but you should really watch out! YAY! HAVE FUN! =D
