Egyptian authorities have refused to allow a gay cruise to dock in the country.
The Scarlet Lady, a Virgin Voyages ship that Atlantis Events chartered, was to have docked in Alexandria, a port city on the Mediterranean Sea. The Washington Blade obtained a letter that Atlantis Events President Rich Campbell sent to passengers on Thursday, hours before the cruise was to have arrived.
"Early this morning, we were informed that Scarlet Lady has been denied entry into Egyptian waters and, as a result, will no longer be able to call in Alexandria today," he wrote.
"I know how much this visit meant to so many of you," added Campbell. "We successfully sailed a similar itinerary last year, so we were surprised by this unfortunate decision."
The ship had been scheduled to dock in Kusadasi, a Turkish resort town on the Aegean Sea, and Istanbul earlier this week. Turkish authorities refused to allow it in the country.

It's good to know there aren't any gay people in those countries. 🤣

All the evidence suggests the human race is unlikely to advance any further and will become a failed civilisation of its own making. That I firmly believe!
