I am gay who live in this damn country which is Saudi Arabia. I always felt no happy, I could not have sex with gay at all, because if i really want to do it, I will be executed from this life. I don't know why we don't have right just for protection? This is my body, whatever I did that's only representing me? Every gay or lesbian wants to have freedom in this life, where in fact Saudi Arabia law kill these people? am I really murder? do I really deserve to die because that I am gay or for somebody who is lesbian. At the end, I will truly tell everyone that I and some of my friends who are gay thinking to attempt suicide and you know why?

COULD GAYS snd LESBIANS MARRY EACHOTHER? they could fool everyone this way but still get to live their lives. It is not fair for gays and lesbians that just quietly want to live their lives. If marriage must be forced, could a gay man make an arrangement with a lesbian to get married and tell his family they will marry. Then the husband and wife can openly allow their gay and lesbian 'friends' come and stay at their home. This seems like a nice solution to get the constraints of society off their backs.
Why do gay people have to put up an act for people. we really wanna be able to enjoy life, without worrying about the next person bad mouthing me. i hate pretending to make someone else"s life easy. lets compromise, let me marry and tell me to stay in my house, and you stay at yours. you dont see me and i dont see you.
