I liked this clip about gay marriage in NZ, puts things into perspective.

Re: Gay man considering Aramco
It has to be one of the world's gayest countries. I worked as a contractor at Aramco (engineering) and there were many jokes about the educational side of the operation being a hotbed, ahum ahum, of those otherwise inclined. You'll probably have the time of your life!

Well as you're a septic I'll explain, a bender is a gay bloke in northern slang from the 70s, so a Randy Bender is a gay bloke who likes it a lot!

Pitchers are considered normal. The catcher is the deviant. Lots of derogatory labels in colloquial Arabic for the passive partner - Manyuk, Banduk etc
ish.

Re: Gay man considering Aramco
Is "Aramco" a euphemism?
I wouldn't worry, keep your head down until you know the lay of the land.
If you don't try it, you'll never know.
Did I just say that?
