Irish Pupils Against Iran’s Gay Executions

Ireland’s national student association took a stand against Iran this weekend: “The Union of Students in Ireland has today called on the Iranian Government to halt the planned executions of Tayyeb Karimi and Yazdan who are both thought to be gay.” The youth will reportedly be thrown from a cliff or another high place for their alleged “rape” of two other men. Gross… [UK Gay News]

Since we are supposed to be tolerant of other religious views and if Iran’s god and religion says it’s OK to do what they do then we should let them do it. I mean who are we to be intolerant of their laws that are based on their religion? After all god wrote the book on cruelty, vengeance, and a narrow minded view of the word and the right to commit it. So we shouldn’t question his authority and the people’s right to act on it.

Oh…that sounds just like Bangor, Maine. (USA)

Except in Bangor, they throw the gay men off bridges. And also – 2 men who killed this gay man:

…DID happen 2 get 2 years in jail before they were released.

And in 2006 a gay man was murdered UNDER a bridge in Bangor, Maine. They were apparently too lazy to carry him to the top of the bridge, so they just doused him with gasoline and set him on fire.

Funny, you can’t even Google that up anymore.(It was only a homeless gay guy, you know…)

Before people start poo-poo-ing other countries, I think they ought to take a good look at what goes on right in their own nasty back yards.
