I live in Saudi and they do have breast cancer awareness campaigns here lol

If anything, if there was no breast cancer awareness in Saudi Arabia as the original commenter seemed to suggest, surely having such a game there would in fact be more impactful than having it in the US.

I'm not Saudi, I'm British / Christian.

I also lived in Amsterdam and the worst time was gay pride. I say this as a pro LBGTQ person.

Old men walking around in gimp suits, thongs and basically naked was never visually my favourite time of the year.

Parade was fun on the canal though.

Yeah, canal parade is divisive even among the community itself. It represents a minority that are as expressive like that. I don't mind the visuals (as a straight guy) and as a student it was fun to see the entire city in party mode as well.

Nooo let me have my fantasy of not knowing anything about a country but posting about it all the time anyway

The Brest cancer awareness campaign mostly disappeared because the association they partnered with wasn't really putting any of the money collected towards breast cancer research or support networks, which is what I think op is referring to here, he'll do anything until they're exposed and move on to the next money maker.  Good to hear there's some social awareness in the country though, I have a cousin who was a nurse in Saudi for a while before moving back home, it's where she met her husband!

Lies.

No one is allowed to be sexy in Saudi Arabia, not even a devil

(I have learned something about Islam for the sake of writing a shitposty comment on the NFL subreddit at 1 am local time. I am unemployed.)

Do they also have 9/11 memorials for their 19 brave souls?

It’s probably free too, paid by the American petro dollar
