Homosexuality is 'haram' under Islam
that said, there is a tolerance of male homosexuality that is different then in the West.

It is don't ask don't tell basically... but close male relationships are even part of hetero society... including physical contact...

1. Huh?
And if a bunch of women have a really good time over in the women's quarters, hey, who's to say?

3. Does "haram" translate as "kosher" or "trayf"?

This was a rash, purely smartass response.

I stand by the sentiment, but this is not the thread to post it in.

7. Don't buy it...
...homosexuality is considered a Capital Offense in many Islamic countries. "Different then in the West"? Indeed...but imbued with "tolerance"? Right...peddle that bilge elsewhere.
