Ignoring an explicit law and then getting punished (and not even all that badly) is not at all germane to the subject, which is insecurity about rules that may start existing soon or are undocumented.
If you go to a muslim country and make out with another dude you're making a statement, which is fine. You know what the consequences will be before you do it. Your described scenario is no different from saying using white phosphorus on civilians is bad on stage in the US, which will also land you in incredible trouble.

That's why I _specifically_ made a statement about people missing my point, because I knew someone would, because people _always_ do when it comes to imagining how they would feel if they were persecuted like that. The point _isn't_ that someone can go there and "break the law". The point _is_ that there was a claim that they are tolerant and I refute that claim by saying that they are not.
