QuoteAs a defensive form of "gaydar," a Kuwaiti official says that the country is developing a medical screen intended to prevent gays and lesbians from entering Gulf Cooperation Countries, which include Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The Gulf states prohibit homosexuality as a criminal act, with Saudi Arabia imposing the death penalty on convicted gays and lesbians. Around the world, 78 countries ban homosexuality, with lesbianism specifically prohibited in 49. Aside from Saudi Arabia, the Middle Eastern countries of Iran, Sudan, Yemen, and Mauritania also impose capital punishment on gays and lesbians convicted of violating the ban.
Somewhat more lenient, Kuwait imposes prison sentences of seven years or less for homosexual acts between men or 10 years or less for violations committed by people under the age of 21, according to some reports.
Since 1979, Iran has executed more than 4,000 people convicted of homosexual acts, but imposes a punishment of 74 lashes for minors convicted of engaging in consensual sodomy. In Sept. 2007, then-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad drew laughter from an audience at Columbia University, during a state visit to the United Nations, in response to a question about the ban. "In Iran, we don't have homosexuals like in your country," he said. "I do not know who has told you we have it."
Gays and lesbians convicted of violating bans on homosexuality face a range of penalties across Middle East states. Although Saudi Arabia imposes the death penalty as a maximum punishment, violators usually face only incarceration, whippings, and fines. Likewise, Sudan imposes the death penalty on men thrice convicted of violating the ban, and imposes lashings and stoning on women. Gays and lesbians in Yemen and Mauritania face punishments in accordance with Shari'ah law, which may range from flogging to public stoning.
This week, Yousouf Mindkar, the director of public health at the Kuwaiti health ministry, told Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai that the ban would be strengthened. "Health centers conduct routine medical checks to assess the health of the expatriates when they come into the [Gulf] countries," he said. "However, we will take stricter measures that will help us detect gays who will then be barred from entering Kuwait or any of the [Gulf] member states."
The newspaper didn't elaborate on how medical personnel would screen or gays and lesbians. In May, police in Kuwait arrested 215 people in a sweep of "gay-friendly" Internet cafes, although news reports were unclear whether those arrested were charged specifically with violating the ban on homosexuality.
Well good, fuck you. I didn't really plan on entering your shitty countries anyways.
Well it's a good thing we freed them from the repressive Iraqi's. Otherwise we wouldn't have this great scientific advancement. :-s
A bunch of morons. But how exactly do they screen the gayness of people? I admit I'm a bit curious bout this. :-k
It's the extra 'S's' in speech patterns.. Didn't you know?
I would tell you all the ways to check for gayness, but I would be labeled a homophobe.

No no no, you have it all wronng. That's unscientific nonsense. Clearly these enlightened Muslims would use only the most accurate test possible to defend the lands of Allah from THE GAY[sup:2gzpsrzo]TM[/sup:2gzpsrzo]. They'll take a vial of blood from the individual to be tested then spinkle it on a goat. If the goat dies then you know that person has THE GAY[sup:2gzpsrzo]TM[/sup:2gzpsrzo].
(sigh) Supposedly, a gay man's fingers are often similar to a woman's; men's hands have longer 2nd fingers. On a woman, the 2nd finger is even with the index and third finger. my gay neighbor's hand is this way.
Men with "rugged" features-having to do with testosterone in puberty- generally (this is disputed) tend not to be gay. Gay men have more mild features. Supposedly they are less prone to heavy beards, but there is no evidence to back that.
Obsessive neatness-seriously- to the point of always shined shoes, correct tie with shirt, and no bling. Gay men apparently put taste over ostentation.
They know what to do with their hands. Men don't know whether to stick their hands in their pockets, hook their belt or clasp them behind. Clasping in front is a feminine gesture. You'll never see them hook their thumbs in their belt or stick their hands in their pocket.
Okay, its homophobic, but there it is.

I heard about the hand thing before. My ring finger and index finger are pretty much the exact same length. I pretty much don't care how I look unless I'm going out. I have quite the heavy beard, actually. i either clasp my hands or put them in my pockets, depending on what seems appropiate. Out of all of those the finger ratio thing is the only one I know of that has some scientific evidence backing it up, but I don't regularly look up such studies.
I wouldn't say it's homophobic, just not the most accurate and perhaps in need of more study.

Then they need to consult equally bat shit insane Russia.
Well I'm dead if I go there.. I have little facial hair and less body hair. I'm thin and have smallish hands, but...I have a deep voice and an ugly glare when I'm in a foul mood and bad teeth so perhaps being old and ugly might just save me. I better cut off my pony tail though because certainly men with long shiny hair must be..g...g...g... OH GOD! I can't say it! I might catch it! :shock:
Hey, I guarantee their methods of measurement will become standard throughout the whole darn world.
I thought those measurements were how we detected ABBA fans..

Drunk or sober?

All these descriptions of how to detect gayness really seem to fit Pat Robertson to a T.. :-k

How can they tell if someone's gay?
I've known completely straight men and women who appear gay because the way they speak and act fits common stereotypes of gay men and lesbians. I've also known gay men and women who I would never have guessed were gay.
Ignorant, backward countries.

I can guarantee there is absolutely no way you can tell who's is gay by just looking at them. If you think fruity acting or feminine looking is a way you are so wrong. I worked with a man that was so fruity guys would whistle at us walking. He had a wife and two children and wasn't gay at all. I went to school with a young man that was very good looking but never acted fruity or gay at all that was. He proved to me by taking me to the gay part of Chicago where he went down (no pun intended) an alley with a man that looked like Kirk Douglas.
I had a friend that was a real gun nut that actually had an arsenal and was a Macho Man former Special forces that hated gays. His favorite music group was Village People until I pointed out to him they were gay. He broke up all their records and threw them in the garbage. I couldn't stop laughing and kidding him about it. He got so mad at me he told me to leave. Stupid as stupid does. :roll: :rollin: :rollin: :rollin: Solitary
