Consenting adults can do anything they like in private, but consideration for others, especially in public, is part of being part of society. These aren't considerations for the ME, but for anywhere.
They're only 18 and 19. And madly in love. And they act like teenagers. Well, worse. It's so 可愛い ("kawaii" - Japanese for cute).

To be fair it's not beyond the realms of possibility for Kuwait or Qatar...and I'd happily convert if it meant no more trips there.

LOL. Not sure anyone can "convert" - I know a few groups have tried it (the other way around) and it's basically been recognised as psychological torture.

As I understand it, the circumstances surrounding Alan Turing's conviction involved sexual activity with another male but not what we would now consider Gross Indecency i.e. cottaging.
From a legal standpoint, it doesn't really matter how the crime would be considered now. See again my earlier post with the standpoint of the person representing the Justice Minister.

They're only 18 and 19.
And they act like teenagers.
Perhaps because the simple fact that they are in fact teenagers?

The only non-English language I can actually read with any degree of fluency (beyond recognising some words) is Spanish.

Well, there's scary and then there's scary. UAE is definitely scary when things go seriously wrong (which can happen for trivial reasons), whereas parts of any major western city can be scary on every Friday or Saturday night. Most westerners in the UAE are as unlikely to be in a genuinely scary situation as they are when in their home countries.

Surely being homosexual is a lifestyle choice?
