Reuters Staff

CAIRO (Reuters) - Six Egyptian men arrested for “promoting sexual deviancy” and “debauchery” on social media will be subjected to anal examinations ahead of their Oct. 1 trial, Amnesty International said on Saturday.

Their arrest is part of a wider crackdown against homosexuality that started last week when a group of people were seen raising a rainbow flag at a concert, a rare public show of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights in the conservative Muslim country.

At least 11 people have since been arrested, Amnesty said, and one man has been sentenced to six years in jail after local media launched a highly critical campaign against those who raised the rainbow flag at a Mashrou’ Leila concert, a popular Lebanese alternative rock band whose lead singer is openly gay.

Yup, I read this, too. In the meantime, the US whines on about Iran whilst fully backing an Egyptian dictatorship and stir-crazy religious extremists governing Saudi - go figure! Un abrazo, Che ;-)

Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls.

Maybe the Europeans will man up and do something about it or is pissing and moaning all they're capable of?

What is interesting is the U.S. supports Sunni leaders in Saudi Arabia and Egypt and even giving Assad a break. Sunni radicals include the 9-11 attackers, al-Qaeda and ISIS. The natural opponents of Sunni radicals are Shiites but that movement is lead by Iran and we cannot support any Iran aligned group.

We are making the same dogmatic mistakes that we made during the Cold War by refusing to partner with anyone who was remotely associated with Communism.
