If Christians in the west don't like gay marriage, then move to Iran.

I'd suggest that Iran send all of its homosexuals to the west. You like 'em, they don't want 'em. It'll add to your "diversity".

Quote:The news website of the revolutionary guards in Kermanshah province, home to the country’s Kurd ethnic minority, reported on Thursday that their elite forces had dismantled what it claimed to be a network of homosexuals and devil-worshippers.
Why am I not surprised to hear the K-word....
I'd say that they could have been yazidis, even though the yazidis worship the devil, they don't take too kindly to homosexuals either.

I think that'd be great, but I doubt that Iran would agree to do it.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Well Iran is on my top five "to destroy" countries. After destroying Iran and taking South Azerbaijan, you can turn it into a den of every vice that exists on earth, just as it was before.

A gay Iranian couple used to live in my building. They had had to leave Iran without any of their belongings and without saying goodbye to their families. Poor things Sad

They are lucky they got out without being arrested or executed.

This may be several parts, but I love the introduction the President of Columbia has for his asshole guest. But somewhere in this asshole's speech he says "There are no gays in Iran", and the entire audience laughs in his face".

I havent quite worked out the purpose of this thread...

It is terrible this happens in these countries, but doesnt make our concerns or bid for rights any less valid.
