In Tel Aviv, gay israelis and Palestinians can live an open life without being hassled, tortured or put to death by their government. Iran is a sick country that values pride over human life.

no gay in Iran !!! Wow I'm totally shocked!!! Filthy ugly regime.. Despite all of there ugly actions still people in the west support this inhuman lunatic regime... shame

Where's all the hippies that run to the first sign of abuse? Why aren't they on mass to Iran to do something about the way gay people are treated there? And, not just gays, but anyone chosing to have an extra marital affair? Or, is it only Israel that bothers them?

There's no other reason for the brutal murders of gay men. He's an in the closet gay, that's what it is.

Where are the worldwide Gay protests? Gays in America are fighting, protesting, boycotting businesses, disrupting traffic, marching just to be able to get married,. I would think that preserving ones life is infinitely more important. Where the hell are they on this issue?

article appearing in Ynet right now and then to #12 in the Talkback section and read what Hameed Aboughaze writes about the regime in Iran and the fearful conditions under which the citizenry live. It is a punishing and brutal description of life there written by an educated man who managed to escape.

Wasn't that a Palestinian city?

a la mussolini, a la eichman, a la ceaudescu ? meanwhile the iranian killing machine is operating in full to the delight of ahmadino, his ayatollahs, imams, and the judiciary. I fervently hope to see the day when the cursed ahmadino & friends are dangling at the end of a rope, holding their damn koran in one hand and verses of their favorite sharia laws in the other.

Obviously it is Israel's fault. Every politically incorrect citizen of the world knows that the "Israeli occupation" is the root cause of all evil. It is clearly the Israelis fault for avoiding indirect talks with the Palestinians and foolishly pushing direct peace negotiations, which the Palestinians have said they don't want. The world must immediately boycott Israeli in order to save this gay Iranians life. Because only a boycott of Israel will end the occupation and lead to the new age of enlightenment that the Zionists are blocking by their political intransigence. It is also a well known fact that Israel invented AIDS and has the cure, but is waiting until 1.8 billion people are infected before they sell the cure. It is also a fact that Israel captured 3 UFOs containing a 3 live Martians, 4 people from the future (the Israelis are not releasing if they are Muslims are not), and a delegation from Rigel 7 who are being tortured so the Zionists will have a cloaking device, a transporter beam, photon torpedoes and a cure for the common cold.

and those countries and people who allow it are nothing but satanic and evil .... this world is changing and the end is near .....

If they want that kind of life style,they should bear in mind that there will be punishments too. We will never allow this country to be a safe haven for homosexuals who are nothing but low life's.

What a bunch of hypocrites. Why don’t they hang the jailers that rape and sodomize the protesters? They are probably all secretly queer.

They might me Low Life's to you but to us they are human beings. Why don't you blame it on Israel like you blame every think else.

Please do not sodomize the 3 Martians; it would be very bad interplanetary Public Relations. Ha-Ha.

This shows the whole world how is Iran behaving executing their country man like dogs

homosexuality is concerned. Get rid of it! If the practioner will not stop the act, then get rid of the practioner and the act will cease. So simple.

No names or facts just hearsay!!! Stop this gay reporting por favor :)

Maybe then you'll perhaps start making more sense and less hatred speeches.

Had you not been so homophobic you would have realized that the article stated the boy had no legal counsel and a witness admitted to lying. Under such severe punishments can you not see how others would lie to avoid a similar fate as that of the accused? So what then if someone accuses you? What do you think your fate would be before one of the imams? And if they printed in the paper that the supposed bugger was also a Jew? No questions asked...you're stoned. If you think it is more evil that someone would bugger someone else with consent than sentence a person to death without any legal counsel, then you have no idea what evil is. Evil manifests itself in the nationalists and the religious with alarming frequency. Ironically the mote in their own eyes blind them from this reality. News flash....There are people born daily with sexual organs of both gender. In your world shall we condemn them to death? Man, not God, wrote about homosexuality being filth. For goodness sake, if Muslims, Fundamentalist Christians and Jews actually believed that everything written in "The Book" were true why would they be sprinting to break the Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Kill ? There is - according to this article- a boy who will be murdered by the state because of the claims against him. I don't know if he went in the back door or not. I don't care. Condoning the act of the state in this matter is morally depraved. So, simple?

Strang, I though that the Idiot in one of his speeches abroad, siad that there was no such thing in Iran.......I wish he would make up his mind. I also wish that the media would stop giving him a podium for all his xxxx perhaps this would keep him quiet and the world could get rid of him once and for all

Ahmadinejad's spiritual advisor, Ayatollah Yazdi, passed a law last August allowing rape and sodomy of male and female protesters. According to Yazdi, it's OK for other men to watch and even enjoy the act as long as they are doing it to force a confession. So homosexual acts are authorized as long as humiliation and punishment is involved.

If what Cynthia says is true, then those ayatollahs are some really sick puppies.

When he spoke at Columbia University a few years ago, Ahmedinejad insisted that there was no drug use or homosexuality in Iran. Guess he was lying. There's a surprise. Iran personifies the evil empire. It must be destrroyed.

However, they had to be insane to stay in such an obviously demented society A nation that shoots it's own people in the streets when the express sentiments against the facistic government, which has a nutjob like AchMADinejad as a spokesman

it might be considered a sin by certain religions- but to condemn a person to death because of it is backward, cruel, any person of any religion, Jewish, Christian or Moslem still living in the Dark Ages should just shut up and crawl under a rock again... period!
