   Manama: A court in eastern Saudi Arabia has sentenced a   
   homosexual man to three years in jail for engaging in “immoral   
   acts”.   
      
   The man, in his 30s, was also ordered to pay a SR100,000 fine by   
   the court in the port city Dammam in the Eastern Province.   
      
   According to a report in local news site Sabq, the man was   
   apprehended by the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and   
   the Prevention of Vice after he posted pictures of himself naked   
   on social media and offered to have sex for free with other men.   
      
   “Offensive” pictures and chats with other people were found on   
   his confiscated mobile, Sabq said on Tuesday.   
      
   Homosexuality and cross-dressing are social and legal offences   
   in Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)   
   countries – Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. Last   
   month, police in Kuwait arrested 23 cross-dressers and   
   homosexuals after they busted a “wild party” held at a chalet in   
   the south of the country.   
      
   Lawmakers, wary of the growing number of gays in the country,   
   have been pushing for a crackdown, including the adoption of   
   tougher immigration measures against expatriate homosexuals and   
   their prompt deportation.   
      
   Last year, a suggestion by a health official carried by a local   
   daily to bar homosexual and transgender foreigners from working   
   in the GCC raised a storm that eventually subdued for not   
   reflecting an official policy.

   Don't waste time putting the pieces of crap in jail where   
   taxpayers must feed them, provide health care, and a roof over   
   their heads.  Cut their heads off and dump them in the desert.
