Manly Men NewsIf you read my post: Bahrain Gay Honeytrap, you might wonder if Bahrain was actually friendly towards gays. After all, the guy who was mugged reported the incident to the police. In fact, one might even think that Bahrain was a very liberal place and might be a great vacation spot…

Well, before you pack your bags, you may be interested to know that a Anti-Gay Crackdown May Loom in Bahrain.

Apparently gays are not officially permitted to enter Bahrain nor do gays reside among native Bahrainians…

However, according to officials, gay tourists enter Bahrain by pretending to be “manly” for immigration agents but when they make it past immigration, “they return back to their unacceptable homosexual attitude.”

Other things one should know: Homosexuals are found in huge numbers at hairdressing salons and beauty and massage spas, which are regularly inspected and suspected gays are taken to the Public Prosecution.

If it wasn’t for the being hauled off to the public prosection part, I’m tempted to laugh. Oh heck, I will. :lol:
