[luk AJ]

Just to make my point, acting against the law is punishable. So why argue?

What did he do? Exist? Did they catch him in a sex act? I think if they did, we would have heard about it.

[luk AJ]

You dont need to be caught in a sex act to be guilty...you are a strange guy.

Gay travelers ... better boycott Morocco now!

It sounds like he got out for PR reasons.

What happened to Mr. Nass?

For those who made homophobic insinuations that this prison experience was going to be pleasurable for the imprisoned Brit, again, shame on you.

Straw Man!

This topic is specifically about persecution of gay people in Morocco. Perhaps in future there will be a topic about how women are treated there.

Agreed. Perhaps in future there will be a topic about how heterosexual males are treated there.

Don't think there are any, except for tourists.

Good topic. An opportunity to some "critics" to say something good about Thailand.....................

What? No women in Morocco? Did I miss something?

I reckon he meant no straight men which is a pretty good joke.

Thanks, didn't think I was being vague.

Yet, like most Arab countries, young, male teenagers bugger each other silly because girls are unavailable. They call it Sex Practice.

Donkeys are raped throughout this area, right up into Afghanistan, for the same reason.

He was standing at a bus stop in with a local Moroccan, the Police had received a complaint.

They checked the tourists mobile phone, and it was the photo he had on his phone that convicted him.

The case has received Media attention in the U.K. on BBC radio Kent ( Repeated again this coming weekend) where he comes from, it is his Son back in the U.K that is Web savvy.

What "complaint" are you speaking of? I don't see a reference to any such thing. Can you supply a link?

[Bwanatickey]

He has arrived back in the U.K. safe and sound, he has been released, and his family greeted him at a U.K. airport.

His Moroccan counterpart has been freed from gaol pending an appeal.

Persecution of gay people ... bad for business?

Following the arrest of a gay senior, interest in the destination drops precipitously.

You missed the best bit of the article:

How do you know? It might be consensual. Hay for a lay

It is the contented groans of the Donkey eating straw, Ee awe that makes the rider think that he is hung like a TV member

I donate money to the Donkey rescue centre, Blackpool beach ride donkeys abandoned by their owners, due to falling tourist numbers.

That would be sexist.

Heteros have no rights...it's a well known scientific fact.

You poor thing. How you must suffer.

Locked up with all those men.... dreadful for the poor gay

That's an absurd homophobic statement to suggest he would be happy to be in prison. Shame on you.

Go and grow a sense of humour

You thought your comment insinuating gay men are happy to go to prison was original and witty, did you?

Get over it

Many people don't suport homosexuals and think it should be illegal as it was until recently in most countries. Of course then they're called homophobic but I don't think that's a crime to have a differing view it's called free SPEACH. It's like not been able to say lets boycott Israeli products as some idiots would call you an anti Semite but it's a free choice to boycott products it's not about a religion it's about politics and free SPEACH.

The guy arrested was effectively a homosexual sex tourist caught with a guy a third of his age and very indecent photos on his phone allegedly something to do with a fist and an anus so he wasn't just some gay guy minding his own business waiting for a bus and taking in the sun (maybe he was taking in a son?)

If you go to another country you should respect their laws if you can't respect their laws then don't go, it's their country their religion their choice. And the Foreign Office web site specifically warns about this topic in particular so no sympathy at all. Simples

It is a bit ironic though locking a guy up who's after cock and arse in a place with just other guys and no woman.

Maybe he'll think twice about breaking the law next time he travels.

Maybe not hilarious to most but what is rather funny, which is why I posted it, is that it easily winds up people like you who take life a tad too serious.

So you admit your intention was trolling?

Now, that IS funny.
