No, darling – Mills didn’t have the armed guard – it was your boy that called out the cavalry!

As for the UG High Commission’s decision to grant a visa: well, ask them.

Rather embarrassing for you, I admit – you like to try to appear reasonable, but then up pops a loony and blows your cover.

Anyway … on the matter of ‘being reasonable’: how do YOU (in your habitual capacity as an anti-gay propagandist) justify punishing gay people for activities (such as consensual* sex outside of marriage) for which straight people are not to be punished? What jurisprudential principles do you cite for doing so?

In response to your second comment:-

I suspect that the Saudi authorities would not grant visas for people to go and film a documentary on this subject. One must assume that the UG authorities did, for whatever reason, allow this.

I wouldn’t call it exactly PRO-gay (more like ‘anti-machete-waving-lunacy’) … but I can see that it might be rather too sensible for people like you.

But you have to admit, ‘Maazi’, it is unusual to have such ‘tolerance’ (which I know you deplore!) should be mentioned two weeks running in the government organ.

I don’t think your rudeness is a figment of anyone’s imagination!

Anyway, sweetheart, you haven’t answered my earlier question, so here it is again:-

How do YOU (in your habitual capacity as an anti-gay propagandist) justify punishing gay people for activities (such as consensual sex outside of marriage) for which straight people are not to be punished? What jurisprudential principles do you cite for doing so?
