Well, Dubai after all is still an Arab and Muslim city, LGBT are not accepted in Islam anyhow, So you would better not to expose that in public places and you then will be safe, I meant no need to hold hands, kissing, hugging and so on in public.
For sure you do not have to wear any veils or headscarfs, no need at all, just in case you intend to go inside a mosque just like Jumierah mosque of Dubai and Zayed mosque of Abu Dhabi, you then will have to wear a headsacrf according to the dress code to be followed.
