GAY NEWS MIDDLE EAST AND ISLAMIC WORLD - MARCH 2008 . MARRAKESH.NET WORLDWIDE GAY FORUMS ATTRACT OVER 10 MILLION HITS ! We created Marrakesh.net after our work on the website GayEgypt.com showed there was a lack of cheap, easy to use, networking sites for the gay community in Africa and Asia, especially in the predominantly muslim nations, where gays suffer from isolation, discrimination and persecution. GayEgypt.com started in 2000 as a website for Egypt's gay community but we soon discovered that gays and lesbians across Africa and Asia were offered second rate and often costly networking forums by American and other international dating companies. We wanted to ensure that gays and lesbians in Asia and Africa 1. could have separate boards for all major cities 2. that no one should not have to pay 3. since for many English is a second language, they shouldn't have to complete a complex registration process 4. should be able to read and post messages in their own language and 5. had faster access so we gave many forums such as Bangladesh and Nigeria their own gay + country name.com addresses. MARRAKESH.NET PIONEERED GAY FORUMS ACROSS AFRICA AND ASIA. WE HOST THOUSANDS WORLDWIDE WITH OVER SIX MILLION HITS FOR OUR MIDDLE EAST BOARDS ALONE. WE ARE THE FIRST WEBSITE TO PIONEER SAFE SEX MESSAGES IN BROWSER WINDOWS.* *So far for nine countries only ( including Bangladesh, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan and Tunsia ) and only activated by some link buttons.
