Another cizen, Mohammad, said: “Homosexualy is unqutnably rejected — by relign, by tradn, by society and by law; but people mt be treated wh rpect and as human begs, as long as they do not promote this and are discreet, as is the se our Arab and Islamic societi. “Foreign seri, social media, dividuals and ternatnal stutns ll all day and night to promote homosexualy c and ntuo ways wh pornographic imag, porn clips and porn plots, while all the toxs reach our unrage children, ” he said, addg, “all the thgs they ll normal. Speakg to a lol newspaper, an official of the Kuwai Health Mistry said his ernment was velopg a form of preventative "gaydar" - a "medil" tt to tect gays and lbians orr to prevent them om enterg Kuwa and other Gulf Cooperatn Countri (GCC).

However, we will take stricter measur that will help tect gays, who will be then barred om enterg Kuwa or any of the GCC member stat, " Mdkar told Al Rai on did not intify what the stricter measur might be to terme a person's sexual orientatn, though the new proposal will be nsired durg a 'Central Commtee for Expatriate Labor Forc Program the GCC' meetg schled for November 11.

The Court noted that, while domtic law had sce been amend, the prent applint was prosecuted unr legislatn which ma a crimal offence to engage homosexual activi wh men unr 18 years of age while the age of nsent for heterosexual relatns was fixed at 16 years of age. The Court led that to the extent that Article 209 of the Crimal Co embodied a predisposed bias on the part of a heterosexual majory agast a homosexual mory, such negative attus uld not of themselv be nsired by the Court to amount to sufficient jtifitn for the differential treatment any more than siar negative attus towards those of a different: race, orig or lor. The Court relled that s judgments the above-ced s of Ltig-Prean and Beckett (§§ 63-68 and 80-105) and Smh and Grady (§§ 70-75 and 87-112) found that the vtigatn of the applints' sexual orientatn, and their discharge om the armed forc on the grounds of their homosexualy pursuant to the absolute policy of the Mistry of Defense agast the prence of homosexuals the armed forc, nstuted direct terferenc wh the applints' right to rpect for their private liv which uld not be jtified unr the send paragraph of Article 8 of the Conventn as beg "necsary a mocratic society".

The Court relled that s judgments the s of Ltig-Prean and Beckett and Smh and Grady found that the vtigatn of the applints' sexual orientatn, and their discharge om the armed forc on the grounds of their homosexualy pursuant to the absolute policy of the Mistry of Defense agast the prence of homosexuals the armed forc, nstuted direct terferenc wh the applints' right to rpect for their private liv. However, the Court observed that reversg the cisn of the Lisbon Fay Affairs Court and, nsequently, awardg parental rponsibily to the mother rather than the father, the Court of Appeal troduced a new factor, namely that the applint was a homosexual and was livg wh another man. The Court was of the view that the vtigatns by the ary police to the applints' homosexualy, which clud tailed terviews wh each of them and wh third parti on matters relatg to their sexual orientatn and practic, together wh the preparatn of a fal report for the armed forc' thori on the vtigatns, nstuted a direct terference wh the applints' right to rpect for their private liv.

The Court found no reason to doubt that the policy was signed to ensure the operatnal effectivens of the armed forc or that vtigatns were, prciple, tend to tablish whether the person ncerned was a homosexual to whom the policy was applible. In such circumstanc, the Court nsired that the Government had also not offered nvcg and weighty reasons to jtify the ntued vtigatn of the applints' sexual orientatn once they had nfirmed their homosexualy to the air force thori.

In sum, the Court found that neher the vtigatns nducted to the applints' sexual orientatn, nor their discharge on the grounds of their homosexualy pursuance of the Mistry of Defense policy, were jtified unr Article 8(2) of the Conventn. Sce the Dudgeon judgment, the Attorney-General, who is vted wh the power to stute or disntue prosecutns the public tert, had followed a nsistent policy of not brgg to urt crimal proceedgs rpect of private homosexual nduct on the basis that the relevant law was a ad letter.

The Court began by examg the reasons set out by the Government their arguments nttg the Commissn's ncln that the penal prohibn of private nsensual homosexual acts volvg male persons over 21 years of age was not jtified unr Article 8(2). They also ntend that the Court's lg had a disproportnate and limg impact on the exercise of rights by homosexual parents, by promotg that they never reta ctody of their children due to stereotypil nceptns of their abily to re and create a healthy fay environment for them.

The Commtee also noted that, while was not open to the thor to enter to marriage wh his same-sex permanent partner, the Act do not make a distctn between married and unmarried upl but between homosexual and heterosexual upl. The Court stated that the excln of gay and lbian people om the stutn of civil marriage did not substantially further any important ernmental objective and that the legislature had exclud a historilly disfavored class of persons om a supremely important civil stutn whout a nstutnally sufficient jtifitn. The Supreme Court of Appeals referred to Article 20 of the Uned Natns' Universal Declaratn of Human Rights, Article 22 of the UN Covenant on Civil and Polil Rights, Article 9 of the European Human Rights Conventn, Article 10 of the Turkish Constutn, Article 56 of the Turkish Civil Law and Article 3 of the Associatn Law, and me to the followg ncln: "Should the associatn go agast s own regulatns the future by rryg out activi to enurage lbian, gay, bisexual, transvte and transsexual orientatns and to make them more mon, Articl 30 and 31 of the Associatn Law would apply and an applitn for the dissolutn of the associatn uld be ma.

The Court stated that bee a statute was challenged on the ground that was unr-clive and for that reason discrimated unfairly agast gays and lbians on the grounds of their sexual orientatn, difficult qutns had arisen the termatn of particular relatnships entled to protectn. The Court therefore nclud that the mon law offence of sodomy, s cln certa statutory schl, and the relevant sectn of the Sexual Offens Act were not reasonable or jtifiable limatns on the rights of gay men to equaly, digny and privacy. “The Kuwai ernment’s monorg, repeated arrts, and imprisonment of Maha al-Mutairi for her trans inty is a blatant vlatn of her basic rights, ” said Rasha Youn, lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr (LGBT) rights rearcher at Human Rights Watch.
