Just when you thought it was safe to put on a pair of heels and go shopping in the Middle East's newest metropolis... We're receiving news today that either 17 "gay tourists" (if you trust police), or 17 transvestites (if you trust Dubai's Gulf News), were rounded up from malls around Dubai and arrested in an apparent crackdown on "outward homosexual behavior," which remains a crime in the hyper-capitalist, westward leaning city-state. Just a couple months ago two lesbians were jailed and deported for kissing on a public beach.
We're still waiting for stories from Collin O'Neal's recent trip to Dubai, and since we saw him with boyfriend in tow walking up Castro Street the other night we can assure you is not currently rotting in an Arab prison.
