LGBT News Gigi Gorgeous Detained in Dubai

Yeah, those comments....bigots show their true colours when they're hiding behind a screen.
I go through Dubai when I've been to Britain cos I went on Emirates and didn't have much of a problem, but I can't imagine how scary it would of been for her

 

What a fool, I mean, its Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in the Middle East, who practices shariah law and doesn't even let unmarried couples stay in the same hotel room. She is lucky she got let go.

 

She's so fabulous they decided to keep her for themselves.

 

I'm so glad that they let her go. But seriously, this was incredibly stupid of her. Why would she ever go to Dubai? People need to read up on the laws of a country before visiting. In the United Arab Emirates it is a crime to be homosexual or transgender., and can lead to the death penalty or 14 years imprisonment. From wiki "Sexual relations outside a traditional, heterosexual marriage are a crime. The death penalty applies for LGBT. Punishments range from jail time, fines, deportation, and the death penalty." I'm really glad she is safe though after her ordeal. 

 

This happened a few days after my friend who is a trans guy had a layover in Dubai and had to go about telling the TSA agents (or the UAE equivalent) he's actually a guy and they seemed pretty chill about it. This story however is very disheartening.

 

PSA: Don't give the UAE any of your money. That country, although modern, regularly uses slave labor from poor Asian countries. In fact, Dubai perhaps would not be what it is without slave labor. On top of that, people shouldn't enrich a country that criminalizes LGBT people.

 

I keep getting more reasons to dislike and avoid the general area, when I first heard of it, it seemed awfully suspicious looking that generally clean in an area so largely uncivilized. I suppose that bridges the gaps between what I know.

Slave labor, criminalization of LGBT, and considering it's in the middle east it wouldn't surprise me if women were treated as second-class citizens.

It's puzzling that the architecture looks like something of the future, yet the minds are that of the dark ages.

 

Technology and being 'modern' doesn't make old, out-dated ideals go away. Just look at America's conservatives and the constant ruckus they cause.

Dubai is just an example of that idealogy when it runs the government and gets into the hearts and minds of people.

Still though... Slave Labour is utterly, utterly sickening. (Not to mention criminalisation of being LGBT...)

I'm glad Gigi got out of there and is safe.

 

Let's be honest - and I really don't give a damn if I offend anyone here, but Dubai and literally all of the Arab countries have always been backward when it comes to issues like this.

 

Gigi is 100% passable as a toptier woman
ao what happend ?

 

^^^I like this approach best. Whatever happened to Jimmy Carter's focus on human rights?

Another thing we must not do is assume the rest of the world has a western spin on every issue. We should be more forceful in criticizing social media (i.e., facebook and the others), for monetizing peoples' private lives, and lulling people in some of these countries to take incredible risks with their personal safety. Sometimes (even on here), residents of some of these countries appear to forget that their governments are using U.S.-supplied tools to monitor internet traffic. This would be tinfoil hat stuff, were it not a death penalty offense in some of these places to even be homosexual.

 

It was written on her passport showing she was formerly male, and it listed her former name that she went by and then below that it listed female and her new name. It basically was written on her passport she was transgender.

 

That's horrible. The Islamic world is so far behind everyone else.

 

What.. ;-;

 

Well that's terrible, I'm still surprised tourist agencies portray Dubai as more liberal than it actually is.

 

Well the (presumably) man who made that law has CLEARLY never sucked a dick.





(N.B. I appreciate it's a law originating from literally-taken, orthodox religious law, not a single person, but shhh..."comedy")
