It’s been reported that gay expatriates could be barred from coming into Kuwaiti and other neighbouring nations.
According to Gulf News, a senior Kuwaiti official has declared that medical tests may be used to “detect” homosexual foreign workers.
“Health centres conduct the routine medical check to assess the health of the expatriates when they come into the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Countries) countries,” Yousuf Mindkar, the director of public health at the Kuwaiti health ministry, was quoted as saying by Al Rai on Monday.

“However, we will take stricter measures that will help us detect gays who will be then barred from entering Kuwait or any of the GCC member states.”
It’s unclear what kind of tests would be conducted, but forced anal examinations are used in a number of homophobic countries, such as Lebanon and Zambia, in a misguided effort to establish if a person has had anal sex.
Medical experts, however, say that these tests are inconclusive while human rights groups argue that they are a gross violation of people’s privacy and a form of torture.

Kuwaiti relies on around 1.8 million foreign workers, but earlier this year said that it plans to dramatically reduce this dependency. It also recently started limiting expatriates’ access to public health care and driving licenses.
GCC countries include Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, all of which outlaw homosexuality. Punishments range from jail time, fines, deportation, and even the death penalty.

Hectic. I remember watching a documentary on homosexuality in the Cape colony and how they would do anal exams on suspected homosexuals.
 
I seem to remember the free world baling Kuwait out of their shyte with Iraq a couple of decades ago. If they want to start acting like barbarians maybe it's time the free world gave them a b!tch slap to remind them whats what.
 
An Anal exam to see if someone is gay... Really? Educated medical people think this could even work?
 
Why anyone would still go to backwards places like these when they implement more backwardness is beyond me ........ laugh at them and tell them to shove their shyte country

Sucks being a bottom or versatile.
 
Isn't this also one of those countries that does "virginity tests" on lucky ladies before their arranged marriages?

So, honestly, I'm not surprised. Violation of human rights comes naturally to them.

Nobody cares about human rights. Least of all that of gay people or women.

Much bigger issues in the world. Issues that are far easier to fight and score political brownie points on.

Russia has the 2018 FIFA World Cup as well. All FIFA care about is money. Human rights aren't quite as important to them...
