Media Bryce Mitchell is in Abu Dhabi... shares a travel tip for anyone going

Great. But it's still illegal to be gay and you have to be "down low" about it, as you said.

If you look at the list of countries that discourage public nudity in changerooms, it's not exactly a list of the most progressive countries in the world. I'm going to go with these countries and their social norms being flawed and behind the times, and them being at fault.

The only civilized country I know of that culturally discourages public nudity in changerooms is Japan. And that's not a blanket cultural value. They have public baths/hotsprings/saunas where nudity is required in some cases. And they certainly won't attack someone for public nudity in a changeroom, they'll just quietly judge you.

I have a friend who taught english in China, and he told me at the gym there the guys there would be pretty open with hanging egg roll in the change room.
 
Not surprised. Most muslims are terrified of being gay. Some muslims will literally get mad when men don't have beards, because it gives them "impure thoughts" if a man looks too feminine. I suppose that's only natural when being gay could mean death or exile from your community.
I dont think you know what natural means

Please tell me what natural means. I'm sure you have the best definition in the world.

And don't forget to include context with the discussion. Explain to me "what is natural" when it comes to the discussion at hand.

being gay is not progressive, progressing towards what ? Being in relationships with men and being lesbians ?

yeah they are agressive and insecure. If a holy book told them to kiss a snail they´d do it. But they are reported to have next to zero crime i Dubai. Like you can leave yur wallet on the table literaly and leave and come back it´s still there.

lol dude, what the fuck is wrong with you???

"They have next to zero crime." They also have few freedoms and they are DEFINITELY not progressive. I'd rather live free and die than live in a Sharia Law hellhole.

It is progressive to not kill people for being gay

It is regressive to have a justice system that has no focus on rehabilitation and strict penalties for things that shouldn't even be crimes. Yes, there is low crime in Dubai. There would also have been a low amount of diversity and frailty for the people in the story of Sparta where they threw "imperfect" children off a mountain into a pit. You can count the benefits all you like, but that's kind of the proof it's not a civilized place.

What freedoms do they not have ?

Progressive means what ?

They are traditional.

And yes it's known Dubai has next to zero crime.

Do they kill someone for being gay ? Post article. Is it progressive that USA has 30 000 homicides yearly and who knows how many drug sick and overdosing people. And how many homeless. Croatia Bosnia have close to 0 homeless people.

Their crime model seems to work. Rich off oil and harsh crime punishment. Extremely low crime rates.
 
You are talking about pro lgbt politics and cutlure. Like that Canadian politicians husband going to kids school making them pledge alliance to the gay flag and supporting 6 year olds to be transvetites.

Progress is moving forward. Being gay existed for a long time. Since ancient times. Is it really progreesive or did we just become more dirty minded ?

to be fair I've seem a lot of conservative christians blaming a woman's choice of clothing for being harassed, something akin to "with that much cleavage showing she was obvious hoeing around". I imagine that in a muslim country it would be worse.
Chomo Trump says that about kids

They are free to walk alone at night anywhere in their country without getting robbed. I saw some weird videos off the USA. USA is sure a great country and economy. People from my city emigrated there. My cousin too. But he is comming back to Bosnia Herzegovina last I heard. Guys from my dads village also came back after being in the USA all their life. Brought their son back. He lived in Chicago I think and worked for google. Still opted to come back and get married here. It can suck anywhere and be good everywhere. Least I think. America is the promised land ? It's probably extremely awesome if you are rich in a good neighbourhood. Where it's rich remember it's expensive. Expensive for everyone. I wouldn't wanna be homeless in death row. Influencers go hide in Dubai cause 0% taxes and they just stack their money there. But I would never want to live there in the summer. Go out die of heath stroke. 40 degree summer days in Croatia Bosnia are kicking my ass hard enough.
