immigration officer: I was denied entry into Dubai because I am transgender and it absolutely disgusts me that this kind of discrimination still goes on, she said in a You Tube video recorded in the airport departures lounge and posted Thursday, according to CTV. It so not fair and it so sad, to be honest, because I knew this kind of discrimination existed. Immigration officials denied Gorgeous entry into the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, she says, forcing her to leave the country. The model, who was born and raised in Canada and later moved to the U.S., said she was excited to visit Dubai despite knowing about discriminatory laws against LGBT people in the United Arab Emirates. After a 12-hour flight, an immigration officer refused to stamp her passport and instead asked her and her body guard to step into a separate room. I wanted to see Dubai, I've heard great things amongst the negative, she said.
