Homesexuality in the Middle East

Weird court case in Switzerland. An American man says he was assaulted by an Emirati prince, when he rejected the prince's advances. The prince admits to a scuffle, which he says was after he was accused of being gay. This got me thinking about homosexuality in general. In the Middle East, the subject is pretty taboo. In some countries it's also punishable by death. That doesn't mean it never happens, of course. You hear stories of Saudi princesses being able to have fun when they're out of the country. That made me think of homosexual princes doing the same thing.
