A central committee tasked with the status of expatriates will look

Gays ‘to be barred from entering Persian Gulf’
I have never had a desire to see Iraq, Iran, Kuwait – I would like to see Dubai – but if I have to hide being gay – I am not about to go anywhere near those homophobic places!
Now, Medical screening tests are going be used to reinforce the decision to keep gay people OUT OF THE PERSIAN GULF area!
From Gulf News.com – The routine clinical screening of

“Health centres conduct the routine medical check to assess the health

“However, we will take stricter measures that will help us detect gays

Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the GCC member countries. READ MORE
