Guys at Gay Meet Up Get Educated and Sent Home

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

OK, OK, you dudes have had plenty of fun poking fun at these gays. Pun intended! And to prevent you from starting on me too, I'll ask not Where?... but What?... What are those weird concrete structures at the gay gathering place?

Those are drainage pipes they manufacture nearby that criss-cross the reclaimed land along HS Boulevard. Here's a picture I took there in 2015:

Bizarre! Sort of a modern-day Cambodian Stonehenge.

More often than not, this includes the local police. They're not quite as popular as they used to be now that there are 'hook-up' apps, but it's still a thing and something that's been around for centuries. So long as it stays out of sight and doesn't bother those that don't want to be bothered about it, it's largely tolerated, even in Muslim countries. I'd even go as far to say that they're even more popular in Muslim countries where gays have more difficulty... for want of a better phrase.... being gay.
For anyone interested the hang out place in Riyadh is Riyadh Zoo as I found out quite by accident. To say it is tolerated may be a slight exaggeration as its the death penalty in Saudi Arabia for homosexuality.

I have been told by gay Muslims (admittedly, no-one from Saudi Arabia) that it's not so much the act of homosexuality that is the problem, it's the promotion of it as a lifestyle choice, as it goes against Allah's will for every man to marry and have children. So long as a man marries and fulfils his duty in this regard, what he does 'on the side' isn't a problem so long it's done in a hush-hush, out of the way, not-in-your-face kind of manner. Although not being an expert in either the 'cruising scene' or gay Muslim culture, I'm just going on what I've been told.
