• Gulf News: Man faces jail for homosexual attempt

Ne la artiklo, la artiklo ne parolas pri samseksema farado. Estas la titolo, kaj la titolo sole, kiu parolas pri samseksema farado. La artiklo raportas seksatencon de viro en Fuĝejro, la atencanto estas viro ankaŭ.

La titolo de la artiklo ŝajnas homofobia. La stupro provita ne indikas se R.R. estas samseksemulo aŭ ne.

Mi skribis leteron al la Gulf News pri la artikla titolo:

"Man ... for homosexual attempt" The title has caught my eye, having read the article; R.R. had attempted to rape another man, this by no means indicates his sexual orientation. It seems to be a homophobic title; I don't think it's a reasonable idea to have a title that blames a particular sexual orientation for a crime. I doubt the GulfNews would publish an article saying something like, "Expat jailed for heterosexual rape." A rape, regardless of the victim and the criminal, is still a rape. Do not blame homosexuals for a crime criminals might attempt.
