Author: Question by Wounded Duck: I recently read about a film depicting homosexuality in Egypt?
Viewers of the movie claimed there are no homosexuals in Egypt, nor in any Arab Country. Is denial so common that they truly believe this?
This was no the first occasion of this. The President of Iran stated the same thing.

Nobody can truly believe that nor do I know any Arab who denies homosexuality. I know 2 homosexuals in Egypt. One is a Christian the other is a Muslim. I know of one gay boy who lives in Saudi Arabia, and another man in Lebanon who has just come out to his parents.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran is not an Arab, and Iran isn’t an Arabic country. He said “There are no gays in Iran like there are in America”, meaning that policies and etc. mean homosexuality isn’t practiced in Iran in the same way that it is practiced in America. Yes, there are gays in Iran and also Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a bit crazy. Iran is messed up!

If you want to see a bunch of homosexuals (men) in Egypt, take a walk along the Nile river front in Cairo in front of the hotels across from Zamalek (Downtown). I did this twice and was harassed and stared at by several of the gay guys.
It was quite uncomfortable and I can only guess this must be how women in Egypt feel when all of the straight guy harass them! Ewwww!!
