Though to be fair, the death penalty has never actually ever been carried out as a punishment for homosexuality or sodomy in the entire history of the United Arab Emirates.
We know all that art, fashion, design, glitz luxury, and wild nightlife…with no gays? “I’m not buying it!”
Yes, this sounds all a bit scary and wild, but in reality, the United Arab Emirates are something of a Gay Mecca in the region – especially Dubai but Abu Dhabi as it is still is also a hub for one of the world’s biggest airlines, Etihad.
