One night stands are not illegal in Arabic law, there are even prostitutes. In theory you get married just before and divorce just after the act. In practise anything sexual is forbidden in public. And some hotels may deny accommodation to unmarried couples. But going out in typical "pride" outfit is insensitive and propably bad idea. Like wearing SS uniform in Germany.

This is where ethics and money collide. If you participate, you’re complicit. The players are comfortable enough to say no, and the punters can stick to the local pub or even bite hard and “stay home” entirely - let the advertisers know. Talk it cheap.

how they can know? besides forbidding dating apps i don't think police officers will sit in the bars to make sure no one is going home with someone they just met. though the rules there are quite strict due to the fact this is islamic state

Why on earth do some people think it’s okay to include USA with countries like Qatar? USA isn’t perfect, but being gay isn’t punishable by jail time here.

Jail time is less bad than being killed by a drone while your country is invaded by the USA, or being killed by a school shooter in the USA because you have iduotic gun laws, or being killed by a policeman because you are not white.
