Thats what it says...

i just think that in a country so strick on "displays of affection" and laws about being gay its amazing they allow 2 men to walk around holding hands and cuddling!! It makes no sense!

well...they are not gay so they are not doing anything wrong in that sense...
plus there are Arab couples in local dress that hold hands and display affection as well...they are like any other people...but as far as french kissing and stuff in public goes, I am not complaining they have a problem with that...nothing more annoying then going out and being surrounded by people licking each other off...if that's what you want, go somewhere private I say...
The whole thing about it being soooo strict here is a bit blown out of proportion. Just behave like you would be treated yourself and there isn't any problem. Unless you want to display your affection in a hefty sort of way...

it's a cultural thing isn't it...the holding hands...it's the way they have been brought up I imagine, so it's a natural thing to do...it's nothing to do with being gay. Just because 'we' think it's a bit strange doesn't mean it is...
And of course they won't know who is and who isn't gay....there are gays of every nationality but I don't think the police actively asks around. As long as they don't bum**** each other in the street it's not too much of an issue....

well...I just want to make a point about the difference between holding hands and other stuff...I get a bit annoyed with the thought that if you are holding hands with someone the same sex you must be gay theory....
