I'm assuming from the article in today's Arab Times, page 6, that the transvestites are almost certainly Kuwaiti - as we all know if they're foreigners it would immediately state that, along with names, place of work and the imminent deportation details. So along with 'blaming the concerned officials for not conducting sufficient awareness programmes' we have another farcical incident and excuse.
Firstly, the fact that Kuwaitis have a special word for male homosexuals on the receiving end rather than giving end is bizarre. It seems that out here if you are the giver then you are not gay. With that little misnomer outed and clarified then we move on to why homosexuality has become quite prevalent. If you segregate the kids then it is almost understandable that when boys become aware of their own sexuality that they will want to experiment. And if there are others around that are equally as interested, every opportunity for them to mix freely then the unspeakable may occur. No pregnancies, lots of testosterone, and who's going to suspect? In the UK it was quite a common phenomena amongst boys at all boy boarding schools until the schools realized that more supervision and monitoring was called for.
Until the 'problem' is acknowledged, there will be no solution.
Woman, you SPEAK THE TRUTH! *quadruple diva snap*
ReplyDeleteLOL needed to Google the QDS, right back at ya with hand on the hip and flick of the hair.
DeleteI sincerely apologize for your ignorance, homosexuality is not a choice for many so do not blame on segregation
ReplyDeleteI sincerely agree with you. I do not think it is a full choice that anyone would make unless they feel compelled to. I salute those who do make this difficult choice in a society that is so very homo-phobic. I am appalled at the harsh punishments metered out for such a so called 'crime'. I am merely highlighting some potential factors that can encourage straight men to experiment and perhaps find it suits them. Being bi-sexual is still having homo-sexual tendencies, in my books, but I'm old fashioned that way. I suggest you talk to locals and learn more about the society you're living in. But thank you for your comment - I do love a good debate.
