GAYS ARRESTED AT A GAY PARTY IN SAUDI ARABIA

Wow.. Please remind me to thank god that i am living in Canada tonight! Listen to this:

Police in the Gulf kingdom of Saudi Arabia have launched another raid on a so-called gay party, this time in the coastal Qatif province.

TV channel al-Arabiya reports that two young men wearing women's make up and dancing together were among 55 people arrested by religious police.

Last month more than 20 men after a raid on another property in Qatif.

Quantities of alcohol were seized at a gathering of young men. Many were initially arrested on homosexuality charges but later released. [SOURCE]

The article talks about how in Saudi Arabia homosexuality is illegal under sharia, or Islamic Law. The maximum sentence it carries is the death penalty and this is most commonly performed by public beheading. OUCH! That is ridiculous.. Beyond Ridiculous.. I really do hope somewhere in the future things will change for the gays in these countries. Gays are human too silly people!
