Well as a westerner it is very difficult to be "gay" in this society, but i agree with all the other ppl who answered your question. the "scene" here is very secretive and i would urge you not to tell the whole truth about your situation.
gays do not meet here in groups and i have been here over 2 years and it is very difficult to make contact with other like-minded individuals over here, since they are too scared that you might be CID.
to play it "safe" i would suggest that you keep everything under wraps and pretend to be a "normal hetro-sexual".
in the same breath, i have to add that there are MANY gay ppl here (expats AND locals! the funniest thing is that so many so-called qatari, muslims or middle eastern men have a guy as "friend" for fun - double standards!
hope this has given you some answers to your question and some insight into the situation
