Breaking The Rules
We have the questions about couples who wish to cohabit in the ME without the bother of getting married. I am surprised that no one has asked about coming to the ME with his or her "civil partner" !!!

Re: Breaking The Rules
Again darling, nobody cares... I know a few gay couples who live together, male and female... most of them just keep the spare room looking occupied..so it is just 2 guys or 2 girls sharing an apartment.

Re: Breaking The Rules
In all honesty it's probably easier for two guys to 'share' an apartment in the bachelor areas than to wink at a girl in the mall. They could even walk down the street hand in hand, kiss each other in a 'brotherly' fashion and no-one would bat an eyelid.....
But I'm glad for one that these posters haven't googled before coming here. I need a good giggle.

Re: Breaking The Rules
I suspect a few people assume that anyone who is gay must dress and behave just like Liberace...

Re: Breaking The Rules
Living her would mean not breathing a word to anyone at all, including expat colleagues (who aren't exactly known for their ability not to gossip or to be discrete). That would include behaviour on flights in and out and also (if based near Bahrain) when over the border at the weekend.
They'd also better have nothing out there on the Internet which would allow Saudi authorities/students/workmates/snoopers to put two and two together. Hard to control what others might say about them even if they kept a low profile.
Not sure if it would be worth having all that hanging over you.

Re: Breaking The Rules
You're right that plenty of guys share apartments. But in Saudi they would have to be extremely careful about their status. Saudi authorities have zero tolerance for this particular topic.

And it's not as if most gay men go about mincing or flapping limp wrists. The majority of people would never know if a man, or indeed woman, was gay. It's no one else's business anyway.

Quite. There are plenty of gay GCC nationals. Sadly many come under family pressure to marry and conform so that must make for a miserable life.
