Angry fans bust 'RHODubai' stars' claims that homosexuality is accepted in Dubai

'They glossed over the gay topic quite a bit. It’s not misconceptions, it’s still a reality there #rhodubai,' wrote a fan

To portray Dubai as a progressive and modern city, the 'Real Housewives of Dubai' ladies boldly stated that homosexuality is accepted in Dubai. Caroline Brooks hosted a pool party for the ladies and their friends and invited her two best friends from back home in the USA. Brooks revealed how her friends were hesitant about visiting her in Dubai owing to the strict UAE laws around homosexuality.

In her confessional, Brooks claimed that Dubai is a very progressive city and that gay people are accepted in society. Her co-stars Chanel Ayan and Nina Ali too seconded Brooks. They declared that Dubai was moving in the right direction and that homosexuality being a punishable offense in the UAE is a huge misconception. After hearing the ladies trying to paint Dubai as a very open and progressive city, several 'RHODubai' fans took to Twitter to bust their claims by pointing out the UAE laws which still consider homosexuality as a punishable offense. According to sharia law, homosexuality is illegal in the UAE and is punishable by the death penalty.
