The wedding was reportedly attended by other young gay men. GDN online reports that after being interrogated by the religious police, two men admitted to being married two days prior to their arrest while the others had married the previous week. “The security authorities do not have any record of such a case, and we urge people to verify their information with the official and trustworthy sources before they disseminate them,” Ati Al Qarshi said.
“The reports about gay weddings in Jeddah are baseless and lack credibility,” the spokesperson for the police said.
Reports about the gay wedding parties went viral on Monday on Saudi media platforms, and several users claimed they were held in the Red Sea resort of Jeddah, prompting the local police to issue a formal denial. “Several women’s dresses, bags, shoes, wigs, fake breasts as well as four bottles of locally produced liquor were found during a search of the flat,” the sources said.
