- Under Saudi Arabia's restrictive cybercrime laws, even makeup tutorials or behaviour suggesting same-sex attraction can lead to arrest. Suhail al Jameel's photo on Twitter got him charged with sharing nudity online. TikToker Tala Safwan posted a conversation with a female friend and was accused of “suggestiveness that could have a negative impact on public morality". And Mohamad al Bokari was convicted of promoting homosexuality online and “imitating women”. Our Observer is a Saudi activist living in exile in the US. He told us more about how these LGBT influencers face danger and arrest by sharing their identities online.

Saudi Arabia: "men can only hang out with men and women can only hang out with women."
Saudi when folks are gay: "😲 "
Because you are stupid, we follow the religion and do not become gay, and basically there are no gays in Saudi Arabia, even though we hang out with men🤣
There are difference between wanting to hangout and wanting to have a sexual intercourse retard
Unless it’s a mahram
They mean that you shouldn't hang out with the opposite gender if you're still young bevause it can make you commit zina
I’m a man and I hang out only with men yet I still have attraction to women

If Saudi Arabia don't allow it stay like that. If you're gay and you cannot leave the country, be single for the rest of your life and hide it.. Better than getting locked in prison.
I live in the Czech Republic, I don't go to the Middle East, I am not able to judge it from the point of view of another culture.
During the time of socialism, guys with long hair were terribly persecuted by the regime, they had their hair cut by force. Today, he wears them regularly, everything is fine, they still retain their masculinity. Finally, throughout history, people have also worn them.
But what surprises me much more here is that every now and then I meet an older woman who has, for example, a great figure, clothes, everything. She is cut short, has white hair, often has facial features like a man. If I didn't have a dress or a ring, sometimes I wouldn't even recognize that it was a woman, once there was an embarrassment when I addressed her as sir.
1:25 He is cute 🥺🥰
Anyways it's bad to punish someone for being homosexual something that's not in their control..
Now you confirmed it for me, Shia aren't Muslim
@alhashemi. Lol like it's a bad thing. Mohammed married a 6 year old and had sex with her when she was 9. He was a racist. He sold tens of thousands of innocent people to slavery and killed/ordered the deaths of even more people. The average Iranian is a lot more intelligent, open minded and decent than the average Saudi. Boggles my mind how the West are "allied" with the backwards Wahabists of Saudi Arabia over Persians
STAY STRONG SAUDI ARABIA!
As an Iraqi I support saudi Arabia
How would u feel if u got arrested and abused for who u love?
I wouldn't take it personally as the gig is over.
Now the flip question, it is the same as asking, "How would you feel if you got despised for liking your sister?"
Unfortunately, a critical element on the topic would be, "Is there limits to love?" The answer is yes.
The subject of a controversial topic is regarding its normality and purpose to which it is abnormal as I also go for opposite gender relationships, barriers are to be established but same gender relationships going further to physical contact is all but abnormal as in nature no matter the view, overall an abnormal occurrence.
Animals in specific species engage in same gender relationships"
To which partially physical contact is usually established. But again, animals do not think or follow a set of code/morals except following impulses without thought or question unlike us humans.
With the last remnants of people going against this alien ideology, modern day still strives to gain a full support on this topic.
You can simply google this and get full-on results from so called, "Research and news outlets" but they are unfortunately under peer pressure from wokeist America which brings on unquestionable support for this community which leaves even no capacity to even question OR think.
It is universally agreed, that in order to appease the majority, the minority is forced to go along with majority to avoid fights and finally, giving in to the wants of said rival groups. A perfect example is the effect of Tik-Tok
Creators utilize this app as it becomes more popular and as money is sought after, switching platforms are the best thing to maintain relevancy without sacrificing anything.
Democracy is not called a democracy without oppositions, otherwise it is a dictatorship.
Scoring over 97% Political and Social Science British Curriculum, and I can go in the side of these laws as not only does same gender relationships is not only against moral values and self respect, but it undermines societal norms.
Nations such as 1930s Germany, 1900s US, Middle Eastern Countries, Central Asian Nations such as Turkmenistan and more, placed a ban on this as it was against traditional norms which were then normalized with repeated campaigns to get a majority to support without any reasoning other than, "This is against human rights", "Love is love", "It is part of nature"
We are now following and being sheep without a reason just following around the normality of today's world brought on by social media.
Either you listen or there is no hope for humanity as a whole without any self- thinking capacity

@@tottui15yes the best thing
It’s simply a fascist religion
Here's something else I don't understand... I am gay. I am a man that likes men, but why do many gay men act like women?? I absolutely avoid femme gay guys. If I want man, I want a real man, not a man in a dress. Suhail's judgement was just as immature as his behavior. He went back to Saudi Arabia and thought his LGBT-fantasy life in California would continue in the kingdom. That's just ignorant. There are plenty of gays in the Muslim world. It is a very closed group, and very discrete - but there are a lot of gay men and they are not celibate.
Thank you for your respect.
I dont have any problem with gay but the lgbtq yes !
Im sick of them trying to push their agenda into us.
And its interesting that as a gay man you dont find that normal they act like women I had this conversation so many time
Even some gay men I know dont like feminine men.
Feminine gay men like straight men
They do that for hetero men not gay men , IAM a feminine gay and heterosexual men adore me
In the UK we have a problem. Straight men putting on dresses and wigs claiming to be women and using womens changing rooms and trying to go into female prisons. A lot of women are saying it infringes on our rights to safety and dignity. The men call themselves Transwomen.
@Levent.A. Nah you just surround yourself with other fgts

Saudi Arabia a chad. Respect their rules it’s not like they are telling the US and Uk to do it so leave them be.🇸🇦🤜🏳️🌈🗿.
NO, THIS IS PERSECUTION AND AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS.
Suahel is already out
Long Live Saudi Arabia
Yes, Saudi Arabia is right. Why an other country will blindly follow west. West can't impose to other countries what they follow.
Transphobic is purely a western invention.
But you want to impose us the respect of your religion, when the Koran was burned in Sweden Muslims protested
No, it's not the "West" that is imposing anything. Plenty of homossexual people out there in the East too. Haven't you heard about Moroccan, Thai, Chinese, Filippino, and Indian gay people? They're everywhere. Not to mention Latin America, which as far as I know is not considered Western. So the west has nothing to do with men who love men.
Human rights aren’t western values
Saudi is an Islam country if you want to be gay just go to west it's super disrespectful to them just respect saudi🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
Your insensitivity is disgusting, do you realize how hard it is to leave a country? To leave everything behind? How painful it is for your family and friends and everyone you know to despise you for the crime of being YOU? You don't understand what the nightmare of growing up queer in an Arab country is like.

So true
None of these things have anything to do with homosexuality. I know plenty of Saudi people and they have no problem with who someone loves and wants to share their life with gay or straight. But they do have a problem with scantily people promoting any form of sexuality and with crossdressing. They believe men should be men and women should be women. There is space for transgendered people too, it’s a fact of nature. It’s the lewdness and vulgarity that they have a problem with. Many of my Saudi friends support marriage equality.
I guarantee to you in Saudi Arabia homosexual relationship are being seen as a sin and no one here promoting them . They have a serious problem with homosexuality because it's against their religion and since it's against their religion they don't want to accepted simple as that. I live in Saudi Arabia and I'm talking as a fact we don't accept homosexuality in general
@@hornerfarah2282 that’s the religious tyrants ruling that try to impose their ignorance on the people. I can assure you many do not accept their harmful and ignorant lies about homosexuality. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
@@Mabeylater293 you understand that I'm from Saudi Arabia. And I'm talking behalf of my experience living here homosexuality are considering an extreme form of taboo among all people living here in saudi arabia. It's has nothing to do with religious tyranny and everything to do with their traditions and their values. Trying to promote homosexuality here Is Equivalent to trying to promote incest or paedophile In Western world. Majority of people who live in Saudi Arabia are religious so it's natural for them to be against things that is haram in islam. I never seen in my entire life living in Saudi Arabia someone who wanted to promote homosexuality among people in Saudi Arabia Not even once in my entire life.
@@hornerfarah2282 your experience seems sheltered within a religious minority that permeates your perception. I can assure you, that you are not representative of most Saudis as you may think. And the fact that you even compared it to incest and pedophilia is the ignorance that many Saudi’s I’ve witnessed refuse to even entertain. They see nothing that is a “value” and definitely not a “traditional value” in dehumanizing someone in the way that you just did. Those who do only have religion as their excuse for their appalling hatred. The Saudi’s I know have risen above that and are far more educated and informed.
@@hornerfarah2282 let me also add that you have A LOT to learn about the basic need in all humanity to be treated with love and respect for who you are. Religion and its man made BLASPHEMY has poisoned your humanity and those who think like you.
