    I know 2 gay Tunisians, but they are only gay when they are inside hotels aimed at European visitors.

    This seemed to be a thing for a lot of (whatever sexuality) locals. Dating and drinking in hotels, away from the judgemental eyes of religious extremists.

      This comment gives me flashbacks to when my dad said he “knew a couple” where {specific sexual information} occurred.

      The kind of detail you are unlikely to know if you weren’t present.

        Your dad sounds like a dark horse, as long as your mother was consenting / out of the picture then more power to him.

        I met the guys near Monastir a couple of weeks before daesh militants AK’d the beach I had been on. About ten years later I ended up working with them on a project in southern France. They’re still together and a great pair of boys to this day.
