The Emirati government launched a campaign last week to combat masculine behavior in women, and help women avoid ‘delinquent behavior’. And by delinquent behavior they mean homosexuality.
Naji Hay, an official at the ministry of social affairs told Al-Arabiya that “the phenomenon of manly women has become apparent in society… These women are against the normal nature of females. Their deviant behavior threatens other normal girls. This is why we had to launch this initiative to protect society from this menace.”
“This menace”? With statements like that, the UAE is inviting the world media to point and laugh at it.
What happened to all that talk about tolerance?
