March 31, 2010 - Islam does not permit homosexuality and implements criminal penalties for gay acts. In Dubai, a 22-year-old man, a student, was on Wednesday
sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for indulging in prostitution and
cross-dressing by the Court of First Instance. The Emirati student, known by a special nickname in his internet
profiles, was arrested on July 20 last year. He had earlier pleaded not guilty to prostitution, as well as to
having consensual sex with another emirati male (referred to the Court
of Juveniles) when the Presiding
Judge Fahmi Mounir confronted him with the charges.
