Looks Like Fenton Got Out Just in Time

Reports say that either 17 or 40 foreign men were "detained" yesterday in Dubai for being gay, which is illegal in the Muslim city, despite its Westernized facade. Police said the men, who were either visiting or working in Dubai, were wearing women's clothing and being gay "in malls and other public places." Their arrests are part of Dubai's campaign against transvestites. Fenton, who was just there, is not a transvestite by any means, but he is partial to cashmere. Still, the whole thing could turn out to be a case of false arrest. Perhaps it was just the Spice Girls having a bit of a reunion party in the Arab Emirates. As Posh Spice said of her pop group recently, "We looked like five men dressed as women." (AP; t/y Jim)
