Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the UAE already outlaw homosexuality, but are toughening their controversial stance
Kuwait's director of public health says 'gays will be barred'
By TED THORNHILL
A medical test being developed by Kuwait will be used to 'detect' homosexuals and prevent them from entering the country or any of the Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC), according to a Kuwaiti government official.
GCC member countries Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates already deem homosexual acts unlawful.
This controversial stance is being toughened, with members of the LGBT community stopped at the border and banned from entering the country, according to Yousouf Mindkar, the director of public health at the Kuwaiti health ministry.

(4,261 posts)I haven't heard of any medical test that would detect sexuality. I would have thought such a "discovery" would be pretty big news.

(53,987 posts)In Kuwait and Qatar, female homosexuality is not illegal. In Bahrain, according to wiki, homosexuality is not illegal. It wouldn't surprise me if these stricter rules have been put in place. There are many countries that have "laws" that are not on the books in regards to gays. This really isn't all that surprising. Also, in SA, the punishment for (male, I have yet to find a single instance of female) homosexuality is death.
