Yes, she does. And I'll get right on that...
I wonder, any relation to Sayed Kotb?
Well, having MORE sex doesn't mean anything if the sex ain't GOOD.
Sort of on topic is the film La Petit Jerusalem. Brilliant filmmaking!
It's great that Kotb is bringing to light, and discussing, such hidden topics in her culture. BUT! And I honestly do think it's wonderful - the same article says that she is no liberal because..."I don't believe there is a homosexuality," she said. "I do believe it is a disorder. It's not a genetic thing, it's an acquired thing. It's just like being an alcoholic and like a drug taker."
Um.
I don't know. That doesn't sit well with me, even though she is creating a sexual revolution in her own country, which I find amazing. I just don't agree with her view on homosexuality nor do I think sexual revolutions should segregate homosexuals.
Anyone else feel as funny as I do?
You are not alone, mizza. I have a serious problem with her views as well. I am all for supporting a healthy, happy sex life and consentual, safer sex practices and education, but only if it is offered to everyone.
