The gay scene in Saudi Arabia

I would never have associated Saudi Arabia with the gay scene, but according to the Atlantic Magazine, it's a mecca (excuse the pun) for many gay men.

It seems that in the Saudi Kingdom, anything goes, so long as you don't caught, and even then, you rarely get more than a flogging. What a tolerant bunch they are! Not only do you have a flourishing gay scene, you even get a bit of S&M thrown in.
