I do want to hear from gays and lesbian teachers by private message if necessary about what it is like to work in q8.

For the haters, keep it to yourselves.

On Dec. 10, 2007, Kuwait�s National Assembly amended its criminal code to say that "any person committing an indecent act in a public place, or imitating the appearance of a member of the opposite sex, shall be subject to imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year or a fine not exceeding one thousand dinars [US$3,500]."

And if caught by police, your head will be shaved and you will be send to the black box for 7 days waiting deportation and probably 80 lashes!!

Am not looking for trouble, but information.

There is a lot of talk on DavesEslCafe about sex, alcohol and singles shacking up together, all against 'Islam" haram. But I have yet to see such a negative response such as yours.

Am seeking intelligent info from intelligent lesbians and gays who live in Q8.

Do you think dressing like a Tom Boi will get me arrested ...lol NOT LIKELY.

in my time here, i've known a half dozen gay teachers - most did not go out of their way to conceal their orientation - recently 1 was very publicly fired from a well known college for having a graphic page in a gay man's website (his colleagues apparently didn't like his management style and leaked the info to senior staff - the leaker's contract was not renewed - copies of the page still exist though;))
buzz is that a gay man will not be lonely here
lesbians, otoh, fly really low under the radar, i'm trying to think if i ever knew of one here.....

There must be a scene..............a very famous salon was once owned by a practising 'couple' but they have sold up and moved on.
I wouldn't publicize it at wrk if I was you, your boss, colleagues,students and parents won't be sympathetic.
Are you here by the way? What's your school like?
