It is egocentric to believe that just because you are born straight that everyone must be straight .. the haters on here have not thought this out at all. narrow minded and poorly educated you must be.. sad, I weep for the Middle East. It is also ethnocentric to believe that our culture has to bow down to the hegemony of heterosexuals. Far too long have straight people been in the position to decide whether we are perverted or born this way. ITS CALLED EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE and it can only be gained from US! If we say we are born this way there is NO greater evidence than that! You hide behind your morals, but morals are only made up of opinions. This is a human life we live and yet we are supposed to cower down to your opinions? Not me. I am happy for the Gays and lesbians of the Middle East for standing up to the narrow-minded theocracy of dogmatic systems.

well, i say u guys need to wake up ‘n repent to the Lord from this filth u’re tryin to spread in this region. we here in lebanon Maronites,muslims, Catholics and Durz stand up in total oppostion againts you and your pro-western funded filthy ,disgusting and sick orgnization, we pray into the Lord Jesus Christ cleanse your souls and heal your hearts and guide you back to the prefect image you were created to present, the image of God not of anmimal.
and one more thing! this poofter buisness is not the failt of God! so don’t u dare blame your distored and confused sexuality on him.
cuz when God said let there be man, he made sure this man he is abt to create doesn’t feel lonely by creating another human for him called Eve
so this is how the equation goes Adam+ Eve= normal human relationship
Adam+Steve = HIV anf digrace which results animal-like lifestyle.
now the choice is urs to make.

Gay people realize that they are different, they know they are weird, and they believe it is their right… but stil they cant see they are sick. So i’m only wondering, why dont they go f**k themselves in another planet?! or why dont they just get convinced and stop what they’re doing before the fires of hell consumes them?!

Well someone have mentioned that Jordians aren’t tolerant at all.. Well regarding the Gay/Lesbian issue, i really do belive that no one should be tolerant about it..

But at the end, listening to Gay people trying to make sense about their sexuality makes me wonder “How sick are they?!”

Want to start off by thanking everyone who contributed in making me wanna read more comments as i scrolled down the page.Pro-gay or Anti-gay it’s all the same for me in terms of the freedom of speech. The only thing is…It is not appropriate for any one in this world to say that being gay is “sick” ,”sinful”or “degrading” . I would accept the comments of people who are opposed to homosexuality if their comments were based on some personal experience. How dare a straight male/female say that the homosexual acts are sick? they haven’t tried it therefor they shouldn’t hate it. Perhaps avoid it but don’t hate it. Hey … if you don’t like gays just make sure u don’t end up marrying one. I’m part Lebanese and Part Saudi and I’m also gay.I have been gay ever since i was 5 years old . Yes people!!! 5 years OLD!. i used to fantasize about my male class mate in kindergarten, not in a sexual way of course, But in an innocent fairytalish kinna way. i used to day dream about him picturing him as my superman and I’d be the little girl trapped in a building which is about to explode. So i always kinna knew that I’m a special guy. simply coz i refuse to play soccer just to be a tough guy or simply to display my masculinity. i used to comfort my self in the fact that I’m secure with who i am.Now the hardest part for me when i was in Saudi Arabia is understanding the Agendas behind every man or woman who refer to religion as their benchmark. I learned in school that being gay is a sin. And unfortunately the teacher of religion who was supposedly the idol for every Muslim guy, used to make homophobic remarks to make his pupils even more intolerant about gays and lesbians. But i don’t wanna go into detail about religion and homosexuality because honestly i don’t believe in any of the religions at all. However i don’t deny the existence of the Divine god. I do believe in him and i ‘d like to believe I’m good terms with him coz only god can condemn me for my “sins” .Now ..back to saudi arabia , Saudi men don’t have access to women sexually unless they’re married to them. As a result , saudi men seek the company of young boys ,notice i said young boys not gay boys, to have sex with them in other words rape them:) yes people… that’s how f**cked up saudi men are. Now i’m not saying all saudis but it’s the majority. Those raped young boys either grow up to be gays coz it has effected them or they simply grow up being dysfunctional individuals.Now as a raped child my self i know that being raped has nothing to do with me being gay. i was gay long before that. But being raped in an early age does somehow effect children.Now Saudi Arabia did nothing about that. Sex is such a taboo that even raped children can’t feel safe enough to talk to their parents about it. I remember i once was with my mates in a coffee shop located in Tahlia street in Riyadh(capital of Saudi Arabia) . And in the table next to me i see this familiar face.But i couldn’t quite remember who he was. So i started thinking and when he laughed his voice shook me to the core. I was looking at the man who raped me 10 years ago.So i immediately told my friends i had to leave that place. And as i was passing by my raper’s table he said “Yo guys! look at that fucking faggot!”.:) HYPOCRISY is the best word to describe this man. Coz he raped a young boy and i’m sure he still does that yet he hates gays…EXCUSE ME ! BUT WHAT’S THAT ABOUT?.His comment was the cherry on top of my day .right then and there i swore i’d never stay in a homophobic country such as saudi arabia nor would i stay in any Islamic ruled country. Now i just laugh when i see/hear/read any homophobic comment because it just shows how uneducated and brainwashed people are. I have to say that Sara was right in all that she said about arrogance in the middle east and esp in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia they execute gays but they never execute gays from the royal family… wtf? now if it’s a “sin” why don’t u kill them too like the rest ? merely because the saudi Wahabi government is nothing but a joke. And the same can be applied to any other government In the Arab world. When i knew this magazine was being published i was sooooo proud and i cried for three days not believing what i’ve heard. To be able to be recognized is a privilege. And no one has the rights pry it from us.You can accept that the sky is blue. You can accept that the grass is green and you can also accept that a girl sleeps with a boy because she loved him but why can’t u accept homosexuality? It’s been there ever since .And HOMOSEXUALITY btw started in non other than arabia just so ya’ll know. Most of the well known arab poets were gay and in their poems they addressed men but after they died Fundamental Muslims changed it and made their poems directed towards women . See how the Islamic and Arabic History was built by hypocrisy? … i can go on and on when it comes to defending the rights of gays and lesbians but i think one hand can’t clap without the other. I ask of all the homophobic people to educate themselves and do some research and when i say research i mean get ur ass moving and read books about homosexuality. You will always have the rights to be with or against gays but only if you have truly done your homework. In other words don’t just talk coz u can talk coz u know.Finally, please please no more gay bashing a friend of mine died last year in saudi arabia because he was brutally gay bashed. Killing and hurting is not the solution.

PEACE YA’LL AND MAY YA’LL LIVE AND LET LIVE

As a non-muslim of European ancestry (i.e., Caucasian American) woman of advancing years, I do not know that I have anything of real value or relavance to add to this discourse. However, being a pushy American that will not stop me from adding my voice to the mix. That being said, let me offer my congratulations on this website and publishing venture. As a school teacher I am so encouraged by the young people of today as I see more and more of them opening up to new ideas, thoughts, and actions. There seems to be less intolerance in the minds of young people today and it gives me much hope for the future. When people learn to live beside each other with tolerance and an open heart the world will be much improved.

Congratulations on your new venture. Homosexuality has always existed in the human race and in some animal species, including apes. It is a natural function and is probably determined at conception. However, if you remove a heterosexual man from his woman for several weeks he too, if in an all male environment, is likely to look for gay solace (I have practical experience)
