...Homosexuality in the Middle Eastern

In America we are free to do pretty much anything we want, good or bad in the eyes of other. In America many homosexual men and women fight for the right to marry, but they rarely have to fight for the right to be with one another in anyway they see fit. In the Middle East most of the countries there are run by a government that abides by Islamic and laws. This means that homosexuality is not allowed, to the point where many leaders swear that is does not exist int heir country and that it is only Western way of life. I would also like to note that in a lot of these countries alcohol is not allowed but it still slips in. As we know Gadhalfi's compound was taken over by rebel fighters earlier this week. In the compound they found many things that we would expect a billionaire ruler to have; a BMW, an Audi, a white Lamborghini and a Toyota, which were all driven off during the ransacking. Lots of gilded gold furniture and things. You can see more in the video below. One thing that was written was this, "In an office area in the villa, reporters saw large piles of catalogues for yachts and cars. A catalog by the firm Benetti had a yellow handwritten post-it note attached listing the price for a 30-meter-long yacht as 7 million euros. A DVD with gay porn entitled "Boyz Tracks" slipped out of the stack of documents." A gay porn DVD? Not just that but gay porn in a Middle Eastern ruler's home? I do not doubt that this is rue. I have read in the past that a large population of the Middle East has had some sort of homosexual activity, willingly, up to 75% is what I read. I read about how gay porn star and escort Malachi Marx was "bought" by a powerful Middle Eastern prince and was almost turned into his sex slave, but he escaped form the limo on the way to the airport. There is also a very common use for young boys as sex slaves, I saw the documentary, known as Bacha Bereech(Beardless Boys) and Bacha Bazi(Boy Play) in which boys, younger than 13, dance and dress up for men, much much older men, and inevitably are used for sex. Though rarely talked about in public it is widely known about, in secret of course. Consider it to be their version of "Down Low". It is very odd. In our societies even the most conservative Christians us know and understand, willingly or not, that people are going to have sex outside of marriage. Over their they are very strict, very very strict, and abide by their ultra harsh laws. Hands can still be cut off if you steal, women are stoned to death for any reason, etc. Men and women are not allowed to sleep together before marriage, though we all know this does not always happen. So what do they do? They sleep with boys... But they are not gay! They do it a lot, often times even after they are married. If they are found out to be homosexual however hey could be hung, stoned to death, beat to death, shot...any way you can think of dying it could happen to them. So although we understand why they keep it a secret, it is a somewhat badly kept secret. It reminds me of the prohibition era in America. People knew where to go to get a drink or two, but no one told anyone because it was against the law... Though some Middle Eastern countries are slightly more liberal than the others, to the point where you will not die for being homosexual, they are still not "free". Even with the gay porn being found in Gadhafi's compound it is not being talked about, which is understandable there are much more important things to talk about. I do hope that it does eventually get talked about though. Until then I am giving this subject matter a Digit Down.
