The one (transgender) woman who does my hair at the (Japanese) hairstyle place was talking about her boyfriend the other day, and it turns out that he's a (Saudi Arabian) STEM-field undergraduate student from a state university branch campus near where she lives.
His brother knows he's dating her and is cool with it, but his sister who lives in the States doesn't know anything.
I asked her what he's said about gayness in Saudi Arabia.
"Not much," she was like, "Except that a pretty boy in the army can get away with whatever he wants."
She then elaborated and said that good-looking guys can come back onto base after curfew and break a lot of other rules too, and a lot of commanding officers are okay with it.
She didn't say what strings if any were attached, though.
