Gay wedding party not so gay

Saudi security forces have raided a gay wedding party, detaining 110 men. These guys were taking a big risk:
Homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia and is punished by flogging, jail or death.

Despite the heavy penalties for homosexuality, most Saudi cities are said to have underground gay networks which organise parties in private villas, and sometimes in hotels.

Saudi executions are not systematically reported, and officials deny that the death penalty is applied for same-sex activity alone.
They might want to consider moving to Oman, which is much more tolerant of such goings on.
