A night club was ordered to close by General Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum, Dubai's Crown Prince for hosting a gay night featuring a transvestite DJ from Britain, reported the BBC.
Government officials closed the evening down after going to the club to watch. Like most countries in the Middle East, Dubai officially frowns on homosexuality take a tough public stand against homosexuality despite having a flourishing nightclub scene.
Dubai being the commercial capital of the Gulf and a major international port, is also a transit point of large numbers of prostitutes and home to thousands of expatriates.
