I wouldn't exactly say that it is "crammed" in the media, as you put it, though. As people begin to realize that homosexuals DO exist, they're being represented more fairly (rather than them and their contributions to society being ignored).
And my mentioning homosexuality was merely to illustrate the point that people in this part of the world seem to find it threatening to openly discuss "forbidden" things, as if the simple act of voicing the words out loud gives them the power to sway otherwise resolute citizens. Hence, the Sheikh's sermon about it not being advisable for papers to cover stories on infidelity.
Apparently, he seriously believes that if people hear that it's happening, then they'll run out and hump a complete stranger.
I am intrigued, genesis, that your ears prick up every time I mention homosexuality... ;-) LOL!
