Imagine making deals with people who would stone you to death if they weren’t after your money.
My first thought as well. As a gay man, you couldn’t pay me to step foot in that country.
UAE ≠ Saudi Arabia
This is just plain anti-Arab racism. They’re not all alike. I deeply dislike the Emirati government but you’re not helping.
The members of UAE still outlaw LGBTQ people and sentence them to death for being LGBTQ.
So does the Caribbean and much of the developing world, but like UAE these old laws are still on the books but not enforced. Can you show me an example of death penalty being carried out in UAE for homosexuality in the last few decades?
Where in the Caribbean are LGBTQ people killed? Because I’m in the Caribbean and I have seen no such thing. They are not very liked in every community but that is on a case by case basis and other than being socially ostracized I don’t think there’s high levels of violence against them. Maybe you’re referring very specifically to well known hellhole Haiti?
Haiti has a lot of lynchings of suspected gay people. Grenada and Barbados and Dominica still jail people for gay sex with long prison terms.
