You've talked elsewhere about how the West and Muslim countries see homosexuality very differently.
In the West, we traditionally apply those titles of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender very easily to sexual identity, and to almost construct political choices around these identities.In Muslim countries, those labels of affirmation aren't applicable. The labels don't apply very easily.
