Kuwait deports 3,000 transgender, who perform female impersonation

KUWAIT, Dec. 07 (YPA) – Kuwaiti authorities revealed that 3,000 transgender and those men who perform female impersonation have been deported from the country since the beginning of 2022, after announcing the arrest of 18 homosexuals of both sexes in massage parlors in Salmiya area.

Kuwaiti “Al-Rai” newspaper stated in its website that the deportation took place during a wide campaign by the security forces, based on the instructions of the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Talal Al-Khalid.

The newspaper explained that Al-Khaled’s instructions included “monitoring some massage centers for men, which sometimes exploit the law to practice contrary actions,” noting that “impersonators (women) have recently begun to spread through suspicious offers and advertisements.

During the past days, a campaign against homosexuality was launched in Kuwait, during which anti-idea slogans were raised in the streets and public areas. The campaign received remarkable interaction on social media websites, while tweeters praised those in charge of it.

The campaign coincides with a major debate waged by the State of Qatar against a number of European countries because of Doha’s refusal to allow homosexuality to be promoted or supported on the sidelines of the World Cup.
