  • The thought of holding another man’s hand in public was once a far-fetched dream for Luai Qubain, a man raised in the Middle East; but those days are behind him as he gives his husband a kiss while sitting on a bench in Cheesman Park.

      Many don’t get that homosexuality is a disposition that cannot change. Arabs/Muslims who choose not to act on it out of taqwa see lots of hate & derogatory terms as much as those who act on it. So I don’t blame any gay person to be repulsed by their own society that shows no understanding or empathy towards their struggles. Allah is the true judge and it goes a long way for everyone to be empathetic

    Clearly homosexuality is a form of survival system.
    It’s not about individuals reproducing, human survival is about survival of the family. And a person who does not have their own children, but has family
    Nieces and nephews, the recourses they bring in, help raise their brothers and sisters kids, while also being versatile and will take on responsibilities or roles of both male or female with ease.
    It’s not a choice, the most basic argument for that is why would anyone choose to be classed as an outsider, or want to be bullied or abused. Nobody would.
    Also, the best warriors and leaders in ancient history evidence that they engaged in same sex relations.

    I am from Jordan and have never heard anyone go to jail or get disowned by their families because of being gay. I know many gay people since the 90s and they are out and about, and no one bothers them. Just like you have good supporting families in the US, you also find good supporting families in Jordan and everywhere else. Don't generalize.
