Do straight cis people love going to Dubai so much just because it’s illegal to be LGBT?

[ShadezMcgee]

You have a very inflated ego and sense of importance if you believe for one second that people go to Dubai just to get away from LGBTQ individuals. Contrary to what you personally believe, people have lives and desires that doesn't revolve around your personal feelings. I want to go to Dubai at some point because it is a great tourism and vacation spot, not because it doesn't allow LGBTQ individuals. It is a personal travel goal and desire.

Plus, that's their culture for wanting to believe and enforce what they believe. You may not like it, but that doesn't mean you can encroach on it just because it pisses you off or makes you feel bad. Why should they change something just for a small margin of people or break their personal beliefs and values?

Here's an idea. Quit obsessing about how other people and nations view your sexuality and gender. It will do wonders for unnecessary stress and to go with that, unless you are a native of that country, I personally don't think you have a right to say how the hell they should accommodate everyone and bend the knee and forget their personal values and culture for a very small group of the world population.

I do not agree with thebrules there... so for me fornyears have being totally discarted go to dubay. Opression for me is not a cultural quirk. neither a religious aspect to be respected ( nothing against the religion itself, but some practises from some groups);I will feel very uncomfortable in a land without legal, stateand religion totally separated. call me a chobinist, but occidental culture is the actual epitome of mankind in all our history, even with all our failures. You know old mid east were civilization was nurture and till certain early stages during our dark age... they had a booming science, maths, optics etc... till religion took over everything. why we are better right now?, cause we absorbe they knowledge, and with time we separated religion from other aspects of life, we manage to to put the balance towards science, even western Christianity that comes from catholic church have being heavily influenced by philosophy, so we do not only follow a book, without this we will still be medieval. Short answer, no matter the estetics, i don't travel to places that are rule like we did in our medieval time. Is not against religion, but the inability to separate it for other aspects for example legality.

I doubt most people consider this before going.. there are many things wrong with Dubai.. lack of women rights, it is more or less build on slavery.. No need to take it personal.
Many people make choices without thinking of all details. I doubt you consider where and how all the products you buy has come to be. The material world is full of immorality, go live in the wild without internet, electricity, manufactured/farm food if you want to avoid making any decision that is immoral to someone.

Going to Dubai has nothing to do with it being illegal to be lgbt Dubai is beautiful country I’ve never been there but just looking at photos of how beautiful the place is and the amazing buildings they have it actually makes me want to visit there one day just so I can see it all in person

BREAKING NEWS ALERT: The rest of the world does not give a shit about you or anyone else other than themselves. I'm 73 years old now. Do you live your life with the goal of making life more comfortable for older people? I have a friend who has stage 3 lung cancer. Do you live your life with the comfort and safety of lung cancer victims on mind? I have a sister who has diabetes. What do you do for diabetics every day? You don't care about other people any more than they care about you. We all care about the close circle of family and friends that we have and that's where it ends. Deal with it!

No one else is going to take care of you or stop their lives because you have some sexual disorder. You need to accept that fact and just start taking care of yourself.

Most people don’t view the world their sexual identity. They travel to places because they are interesting places. They like certain authors because the write good books. They like certain types of music because it’s pleasant to them. They have certain friends because they trust those people. Etc. etc. etc.
what your saying would never even cross most peoples minds. This whole idea of viewing the world and everything in it based on your “identity”, weather it be race, sexual preference, political ideology or whatever... is a new concept that was created through critical theory and intersectionality. It’s a terrible way to view the world in my opinion. All it does is create division among people that actually agree on more than they disagree about.

[boggboss]

If thats the first thing u think off you have a inflated ego as most if not all people when booking a holiday to dubai dont think about there rules with lgbt rights at all to to think people would only go there because u can't is actully retarded its statements like this why u get so many haters on your questions not because u are trans but because u say some vary stupid stuff

[Cozybcuz]

I have no interest in going to Dubai as I find there morals detestable and I kinda want to be able to drink booze. But more importantly why would you ever think getting away lgtb person's is the reason for cis people are going to Dubai? I mean it's not like the mere presence of them causes discomfort to most people in the western world.

[Diversity_Hire]

Ah, now I remember why I unfollowed you.

Others choice of vacation spots, for whatever their reason, is no concern of yours. That's the end of it. Stop trying to be the center of attention; the majority of people couldn't give a fuck that your trans, and the ones that care wouldn't even know if it wasn't the only damn thing you ever talk about.

You talk about it like every 'cishet' can't wait to get to Dubai; I don't know or care about the people you associate with- but I've never heard anyone talk of Dubai like it's their dream vacation spot.

You know what else is illegal in Dubai? Marijuana, fireworks, public displays of affection, firearms, drinking in public; basically anything fun.

So, yeah, you're not allowed to let others know your penis makes you sad, who cares? Try not going to Dubai, and if you can't, try keeping your mouth shut for 5 minutes.

They probably don't know it's illegal. Most Americans don't even know the UAE is an Arab/Muslim country.
THAT being said, I'm not gonna boycott an entire destination because it discriminates against LGBT. I'm not LGBT so it doesn't effect me. I travel to see the sites. I only avoid countries that hate Christians and White people. I don't care about issues that don't effect me.
But Dubai is pretty overrated anyways. There are far cooler cities in the Middle East and even in the UAE. I don't know why people love it so much. They can go to Turkey and also have luxory.

Dubai is one of the hottest literally and figuratively vacation spots on Earth right now for many reasons. How completely warped is your mind that you think people are deciding to go there specifically because of some ban of LGBT or as an insult to you. Trust me, you're not nearly that important to drive decisions made by others about their vacation plans.

[bolverk]

Most of the tourists go to Dubai gets an average of 8 to 10 hours of sunshine a day year round, so you can generally expect blue skies and warm to hot weather that makes water parks a fun option for families whenever you visit and there will be no drunken tourists to spoil your holidays, don't think they'll be bothered about being place where being LGBT, is illegal those nationals who are LGBT tend to keep it on the down low.

[Anonymous]

Nooooo, I were on vacation there some years ago because its nice there, not because gay people are not legal there. I don't think about gays or trannies all the time unless they attack something I like (movies, games etc.), I read yuri hentai or that month when gayness is so overpromoted you can't ignore it.

Usually I let them be, and expect them to let me be.

[Avicenna]

I’ve been there and it sure wasn’t for that reason- it’s because I’m interested in the Region and it’s an interesting place.

[JCT666]

No... I think they go just to make themselves look like they live a luxurious lifestyle for their Instagram photos.

[Anonymous]

Fucking hell, you and your fucking continuous fucking sob stories are seriously fucking everyone off.
For fucks sake, just fuck off and cry on a different forum.

[007kingifrit]

you are a radical and extremist person for thinking in these terms. you shouldn't even use the unscientific term "cis"

the word is "normal"

[msc545]

No, actually we all go to Dubai because they have more attractive prostitutes than any place else in the world

[Anonymous]

Dubai is a big business capital, getting worked up over your mental illness isn't going to help your condition or appear rational.

[doctord00m]

I mean, it doesn't bother me. I'm not gay so I don't care about gay people.

[BeachLuvR97]

Is CIS supposed to mean biologically normal? What do the letters stand for?

[Juxtapose]

You could be given a gender-neutral passport and if you don't cause trouble I doubt they would give a fuck.

[joeldalton]

lmao. Maybe they just like Dubai. It's not always about you.

[Anonymous]

Dubai is amazing. You won't get arrested there for being transgender. You think no lgbt people visit dubai?
