The Taliban may have made a tyrannical career of defacing works of art in the name of right wing religion, but as photog Thomas Dworzak discovered, they’ve got no problem posing for the camera. And they look fabulous!

They are so gay! It’s as if the whole culture is in denial about how gay their men are. Even the handguns and machine guns only serve to accentuate their homosexuality…you know they’d rather be holding a big ol’ cock in their hand instead.

Fantastic feature. Thank you. Having travelled through Pakistan and other muslim countries, I can attest: homosexuality is rife. For one thing, the sexes are separated almost entirely in Muslim countries. In Lahore, I saw women only in the airport and hotel. There is an old established traditions of Ashna – the chosen boy concubines – and it is great to finally hear some honest words about what they really practice.JQH

Is this the very SAME talitubbies that used to execute gays, by toppling walls onto them?
Some contradiction here, methinks.

I can’t claim to understand this at all, but:
Steven Coll’s Ghost Wars (which should be required reading) focuses mostly on the mujahaadeen and the CIA, but offers a brief glimpse into the early Taliban camps. Their armies were attended by effeminate young-boy camp-followers. The leaders had their boy-lovers. It was all quite open.
And yet they had the death penalty for “homosexuality.”
