Same-sex relationships are illegal in Dubai and are, officially, not tolerated. If you know the “right” people and the right places in Dubai, there is plenty of gay life. Some of the gay spots in Dubai you can even read about in the Spartacus Directory. However, you can’t compare the gay life here in Dubai with that of Western Europe. Here, it’s almost all “underground” and there are risks involved. However, many gay people do live in Dubai and, as long as you’re quiet and don’t draw attention to yourselves, you should be fine. Finding other gay people is, however, a big challenge. It can be a problem to find hotel allowing gay people to order one bedroom with one bad, or to rent some other Dubai property for their vacation. However there are many gay men & women there, and as long as th chili diet pills ey don’t flaunt it publicly everywhere you go, there is no problem whatsoever. The only places they can sort of “let your hair down” is in the nightclubs. Otherwise, its better to keep a neutral profile when going around town. There are, obviously, officially no gay bars and those in the past that have germinated have been swiftly closed down with deportations following with equal swiftness. But anyway the gay scene is up and happening around many nightclubs in the city. It’s one of the many things in Dubai: everyone knows about it, but nobody makes it “official”. Dubais first publicly advertised gay club night the Diamond Clubs gay “Fluff Night” featured a transvestite DJ from Birmingham, England, and a “best-dressed transvestite” contest showed example of importance being not official.
