The UAE still murders gay men just for beeing gay. Besides the lack of morality this affects 7 % of all men worldwide.

Im not sure if UAE really be an exciting place and thus would someone migrate to it if you care about culture and stuff.

All gulf states have abysmal gay rights, but are you sure they are executing gay men?

[snowpid]

I'll checked it and you are right. It is just law and practical not done.

But what is worse: Law which does not matter, because the elite will ignore it anyway or threatening gay men to kill them but currently not doing tit.

anyway, not a place a emigrate.

If you are gay don’t go there. As an expat who is not affected, my main concern is that i just don’t want to pay taxes

Yes, Singapore will execute people for different reasons, not for being gay.

[notpushkin]

Yes, mostly for drug trafficking and murder. You could in theory argue that drug trafficking is kinda comparable to being gay [1], but the capital punishment is only for huge amounts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Singapor...

[1]: I mean, in my book consensual trade between two grown up people is closer to consensual sex between two grown up people than it is to murder. That said, there is still some difference.

That’s a pretty big fucking difference though.

Any real recent examples of this, specifically in Abu Dhabi or Dubai?

[Supermancho]

There aren't any examples for Dubai (afaik), on record. In the UAE, 2015 was the last execution for homosexuality. There was a deportation in 2017 for maybe cross dressing?

Either way, I would consider the UAE an exceptionally unsafe place to visit.
