Some guys have to realise that their lifestyle and being gay isn't acceptable everywhere.

To repeat, he has been exonerated, sentence quashed,charges dropped. Has his passport back and is free to leave Dubai.

I don't like Arab countries, but what I don't like more are sellout westerners who use the laws of other countries to report and jail other westerners.

"A Scottish man accused of public indecency in Dubai has had the charges against him dropped after the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai intervened."

He was also exonerated and the charges found to be baseless.

Per BBC

It seems white man's privilige still exists after all.

Yes, amazing! fantastic! unbelievable!  Words that suggest an extreme, but don't really say anything.

You should have heard my megalomaniac ex-wife, she would come out with some amazing stuff when talking about herself.

 

There was a case a few years back where a foreigner (I think he was a Japanese man on a business trip) was scanned at the airport and on the sole of his shoe they found a spec of an illicit substance, the size of a grain of sand.  I don't recall which country, but I know it was one of the gulf states (I tried to search for it but no luck).  This was in the 00's and the case went on for a long time, with him sitting in prison, it would be mentioned in the news every so often.  Makes for great tourism promotion, no?

 

 

What I read about those muslim countries is that you'd get arrested if you had the poppy seeds from a hamburger bun on you shoes. Places to stay clear away from; Jordan included.

He has been exonerated, has his passport back and is leaving Dubai, common sense has prevailed, up to a point.

What does anyone bet that this bloke gives the bird one more time, after the plane takes off?
