Gulf Arab state plans stricter measures to "help us detect gays who will be then barred from entering Gulf countries."

Gulf countries could seek to bar entry to all homosexual tourists and expats, a senior Kuwaiti government official claimed, adding that medical tests could be introduced to detect such individuals. He claimed that the measure could also be introduced in all Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, all of which deem homosexual acts unlawful already.

Health centers conduct the routine medical check to assess the health of the expatriates when they come into the GCC countries,” Mindkar was quoted as saying by Al Rai. “However, we will take stricter measures that will help us detect gays who will be then barred from entering Kuwait or any of the GCC member states.”

Last month, the government of Oman sued the editor of a weekly tabloid and suspended it from publication after it ran a story about gays in the Gulf Arab state. The article was deemed to be sympathetic to homosexuals, according to BBC news.

According to the Daily Mail Online, at least 78 countries deem homosexuality illegal, with five countries issuing the death penalty to gay people – Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Yemen and Mauritania.....snip~

Kuwait Proposes Test to 'Detect' Gays - Middle East - News - Israel National News


Well, well, well......this ought to make all those into the LGBT wake up and take notice.....huh? So how you Neo Cons and oh you Neo Libs with the blinders on, feeling now? This comes from the Sunni Arabs and those that follow that Doctrine. Despite their words to the US and the UN.

Bahrain is home to the US 5th Fleet.....do you think that we, the US will be able to do anything about this? Other than voice our displeasure. How do you think this will affect US Military Operations and for State Dept personnel that have to be assigned to these countries? Now you think about those Left leaning State Dept Democrats that are gay and are all about PC.....do you think that our SOS will muster up and make it known.....That we will not accept this.

Then if the Sunni Arabs can and will test people to say they are GAY.....showing No tolerance. That we take the stance of NO TOLERANCE with them. Should we not come back and tell all of them. Tell them, If you do not stop the conflict in any your Countries and the surrounding region. We will send each and every one of you for Medical testing.....as we know there is a gene inside you that causes you to react without thinking. So we will remove your problem.....and you will never become violent ever again. As we will medicate each and every one of your asses on Thorazine and Prozac even if it means doing so for your next 3 generations. Do you think the Sunni Arabs and Muslims will then wake up to the reality of that which can be done to them on this planet.....anytime and with anything we choose to do so.

Do you think just us making a public statement of saying we condemn this will do or change anything? Where rre all those damn so called moderate arabs now? Notice all those that say the extremists are hijacking their religion. Yet say nothing about the damn Governments that are in charge of these Countries. Who ally with the West with only the intention of stabbing those from the West in the back and using the West for their own deluded schemes.

Do all the libs and Progessives want to go and protest? Do you think using social media will do any good? When these governments can shut them off any time they choose to do so.

Wasn't the left crying about Putin and Russia with their treatment of Gays and the LGBT community? Got anything to say to the Sunni Arabs or do the Sunni have you scared to speak out? They make ya a little bit nervous when they go violent.....huh?

Lets wait til they develop a "test" for gayness. Might put OUR debate to rest.

We all already knew they were anti-gay.
 
I dont think anyone or any group should hate gays. What makes you think libs or neo cons do?

Scared to speak out? :lol: Hardly. I strongly disagree with anyone discriminating against gays.
 
I dont think anyone or any group should hate gays. What makes you think libs or neo cons do?

Did you get confused......its the Neo Cons and the Neo Libs that push for involvement and the Nation building of these countries. Both have NGOs inside these countries. Does that help you out now?

Did you figure out who is planning to test those coming into their countries yet?
 
Scared to speak out? :lol: Hardly. I strongly disagree with anyone discriminating against gays.

Really Serenity? Which Moderate Arabs are willing to go and demonstrate and protest in front of these Sunni Muslim Governments? Speak out as you say?

You didn't think the LGBT community here in the US can make their presence known in these countries now.....did you? Or that trying to use Social media to connect over there will be allowed or tolerated.

Notice this statement comes after all those talks about Rights for women and tolerance and acceptance of others. By those in the UN and in the US with our talks with them.
 
Lets wait til they develop a "test" for gayness. Might put OUR debate to rest.

We all already knew they were anti-gay.

Well they already test with expatriates.....and them saying they will take stricter measures as well as ban people. Might be like giving us the insight already.....huh?

As far as I know there is no medical test to say that one is gay.

Which still doesn't address the issue of their talks and dealings with us. Saying one thing.....while doing another. While always in the UN and talking about others and blaming them.

They could be talking about Colonoscopy, scarring can be caused by anal intercourse or dildo use. They used to do that in Lebanon for people suspected of homosexuality.
 
I mean...who wants to vacation in kuwait anyway? I've been there, I'd rather go fishing.

They go there for work, work in GCC countries is a lucrative option for many people.

So in order to determine if you take it up the ass you have to take it up the ass?

And lesbians don't generally put things in their asses.
 
Lessee, GHW Bush sends troops to help his "friends" in Kuwait to expell Iraq forces, then many years later serves as a witness to a same sex wedding.
Now his friends are going to openly discriminate against gays. hahahahaha

So when a country floats the idea of literally barring people from their country based on an test bound to more inaccurate than a blind dart player, you instead of calling them out on their intolerance and basic lack of respect for human dignity attempt to mock liberals for being tolerant enough to allow homosexuals to serve openly in government and thus potentially making it more difficult to deal with these countries?

I can't believe you'd suggest that our policy is bad because it may make it slightly more difficult to deal with some of the most intolerant countries on earth, and that we should be more, not less, like them.

while people might ignore such issues in the ME, I'm pretty sure no one saw it as a mecca of human rights, or where social acceptance of homosexuality was high

That criticism was largely in relation to the olympics. But other than that, I really don't understand what your point is. Can you try being more clear in your explanation?

I'm not sure what critique you are hurling at us "neo-liberals" and "neo-conservatives". Criticism against the Gulf States regarding their treatment of gays, migrants, and the like has been vociferous and continuous for decades. Russia was singled our for criticism because it has been backsliding from democracy towards bigotry and autocracy. I'd also wager most of us think Russia is more important than Kuwait. Why do people criticize US failings more than those of Equatorial Guinea? Same reason.

Side-note: They cannot test for homosexuality. That would be a scientific and medical breakthrough of tremendous proportions. It is a silly claim. So don't worry about that.

ugh, are you really this naive? Our involvement in the ME is largely dependent on the fact they are huge producers of oil.
 
I prefer the term geolib. I figure Saudi will develop (socially even) peacefully. The Iranian regime should be toppled.

The US gets little oil from the ME. Saddam had invaded Iran, committed genocide and regularly violated UNSCRs; that might have had something to do with it.
 
I'm guessing Obama won't be touring the Gulf States in his last years in office.

That said, what gay person would want to visit Kuwait - all the gay Arabs come to North America or Europe anyway.

sounds like another wild weekend in africa. So it's hard for me to discount the effect oil production is having on that relationship

There are plenty of gay businessmen and transit tourists of all stripes and backgrounds. The GCC is a fairly large node for that.
 
The plan of developing a test for gays is pretty hysterical.
 
Yet we get less and less oil from them every year.

yet it's still a globally traded commodity, with events in the ME influencing prices in Venezuela or Canada and general global supply
