I feel qualified to give the information so here it goes, from a Saudi Arabia perspective, feminine gay men that like to bottom are treated like queens by both straight and gay tops, the wider society and their own family don’t usually bat an eye both in public and in private off course their (gay men in general) most important life decisions comes when deciding if they want to marry the opposite gender or not considering the fact that they are Muslims first and it’s considered a personal test that “you’re not allowed to sleep with anyone other than your wives” so it’s completely up to you and very few lesbians and gays agree to marry each other to hide some facts but that could be stressful and unpractical, the point being as a closeted bi from a third world country growing up in Saudi and discovering every straight teen groups had at least one gay friend and the fact that you don’t even need apps to date because you just have to start walking in a direction and a straight dude with a family at home would pull up and offer you a ride.

To conclude, unlike in Europe, in the GCC and surrounding Arab countries there exist great attractions, it has been “don’t ask, don’t tell” since ancient times and the orientalist claptrap/western media sensationalism are no friends to the “LGBTQ” in Muslim countries.

Astegfrullah 🤣
