Oh, the irony. Will Smith has been lecturing us on diversity and tolerance from, of all places, Dubai. He addressed Trump's stance that Muslim immigrants should be temporarily banned from entering U.S. “As painful as it is to hear Donald Trump talk and as embarrassing as it is as an American to hear him talk, I think it's good,” said Smith. “We get to know who people are and now we get to cleanse it out of our country.”
Smith added the growing amount of Islamophobia in America is why he believes it's important to make stops in places like Dubai. “The Middle East can't allow Fox News to be the arbiter of the imagery.”
What a stupid, awful man.
While Smith was lecturing us, model Gigi Gorgeous was detained and harassed at Dubai airport. Gorgeous said “I was told you are transgender. You cannot come into the country.” Gorgeous should be glad she got out of alive.
Smith's tolerant Dubai and “imagery”:
–-American rock drummer jailed for insulting Islam in Dubai during layover
–Rape Victim Charged with illegal sex under islamic Law in “moderate” Dubai
–Norwegian woman raped in “moderate” Dubai is jailed and convicted
Apparently Smith has no problem with the homophobia, creedophobia, Islamic Jew hatred and misogyny inherent in Muslim ruled countries.
While Smith was lecturing us on “Middle East imagery” ……
“Model Gigi Gorgeous Detained at Dubai Airport for Being Transgender,”
By Stephanie Petit, People magazine, August 9, 2016:
Gigi Gorgeous shared an emotional post on Instagram after airport personnel in Dubai detained her for several hours because she is transgender.
The Canadian model, who candidly documented her transition on YouTube, described the ordeal as “one of the scariest moments of my entire life.”
“After being detained and held at the Dubai airport for over 5 hours, this was the moment my baby came to rescue me,” Gorgeous captioned a photo embracing friend Nats Getty.
She continued, “Yesterday was one of the scariest moments of my entire life and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. How you can be denied entry somewhere just because of who you are is seriously disgusting and also very scary. This further proves the need for CHANGE.”
The 24-year-old model added that she was “safe and sound and happy” and on her way to “somewhere much more accepting.”
Gorgeous recounted the incident to TMZ Tuesday, claiming that the immigration officer in Dubai said, “I was told you are transgender. You cannot come into the country.”
Gorgeous was born Gregory Allan Lazzarto, but she changed her name to Gigi Loren in 2014 and says that is the name that appears in her updated passport. The YouTube personality also says her passport describes her as female, despite airport police telling TMZ the passport has a male photo and describes her as male.
TMZ adds that the “imitation of women by men” is illegal in Dubai, which is part of the Muslim majority nation the United Arab Emirates.
In 2008, encouraged by friends and teachers, Gorgeous – who, at the time, identified as a homosexual male – began posting on YouTube under the moniker Gregory Gorgeous. Her makeup tutorials started out as “fun little projects,” but after a few months she said she was getting recognized at the mall and realized she'd perhaps found her calling.
Her mother died when she was just 19 years old, and the model knew she had to make a change.
“I never got to say it to her face,” she told PEOPLE last year. “ made me realize, 'Life is too short to not do what you want to do. Let's become the most authentic you that you can be.' “
