BERLIN — Six men whirled faster and faster in the center of the nightclub, arms slung over one another’s shoulders, performing a traditional circle dance popular in Turkey and the Middle East. Nothing unusual given the German capital’s large Muslim population.
But most of the people filling the dance floor on Saturday at the club SO36 in the Kreuzberg neighborhood were gay, lesbian or bisexual, and of Turkish or Arab background. They were there for the monthly club night known as Gayhane, an all-too-rare opportunity to merge their immigrant cultures and their sexual identities.
European Muslims, so often portrayed one-dimensionally as rioters, honor killers or terrorists, live diverse lives, most of them trying to get by and to have a good time. That is more difficult if one is both Muslim and gay.
“When you’re here, it’s as if you’re putting on a mask, leaving the everyday outside and just having fun,” said a 22-year-old Turkish man who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear that he would be ostracized or worse if his family found out about his sexual orientation.
Safety and secrecy come up regularly when talking to guests, who laugh and dance, but also frequently look over their shoulders. To be a gay man or lesbian with an immigrant background invites trouble here in two very different ways.
“Depending on which part of Berlin I go to, in one I get punched in the mouth because I’m a foreigner and in the other because I’m a queen,” said Fatma Souad, the event’s organizer and master of ceremonies. Ms. Souad, 43, a transgender performer born in Ankara as a boy named Ali, has put on the party for over a decade.

Gay muslims are about as dysfunctional as vegan hunters
Thats not all they pack...*cough*
I'm too sexy for this goat.
Muzzies are extremely gay, judging by what people stationed in Muslim countries have told me. This is traditional among them: women are for begetting children, animals are for the occasional fling when nothing else is available, but young boys are what they really like.
Ayatollah Khomenei’s first published piece was to support the “right” of Muslim men to use chickens for sexual purposes. I guess that tells you all you need to know about Islam and sex.
It also tells me what equipment they are using.
A chicken! Wow.
Was it my beard? or was it my balls? Give a goat a clue...
I suspect a very large proportion of the moozies have latent homo issues.
Honor killings are not just for Muslim women
Gay Muslims Pack a Dance Floor of Their Own...

I'm sure the author missed the irony of his own words.

I swear I only hit the post button once!
BTW, it was The Prophet (MPBUH) hisself who said "It is written that only the lead sled dog has an interesting view, unless the musher is amongst the faithful." I believe that was in his rarely translated "Canadian suras"
Since working in the ME, I have been unable to look a cantaloupe in the eye.
Taking a few steps backward from this scene: Another instance of western liberal DBM, that hates the western military, sowing the seeds for future wars that western conservatives will fight.
I think ME types are pretty tiny, but, IIRC, they thought it was very thrilling when the chicken died.
The fact that their Grand Ayatollah was out there writing his Ann Landers column on how they should deal with sex with unwilling chickens tells you all you need to know about the Muslim attitude toward sex...
LOL! In fact, ROFLOL!
