Two teenage boys – one under 18 – were publicly hanged by the Islamo-fascist regime in Iran yesterday for being gay. Here’s a picture of their final moments:
Several British gay leaders have also been told they are subject to being murdered because of their advocacy of gay rights – especially among Muslims:
Peter Tatchell, the leader of OutRage; Brett Lock its campaign coordinator; and Aaron Saeed, the organization’s spokesperson on Muslim affairs, have been warned they will be murdered, Tatchell said Monday. In a statement Tatchell said that they have been told they are on a “hit list” and are going to be “beheaded” and “chopped up”, in accordance with “Islamic law”. The threats apparently began soon after OutRage stepped up its campaign in defense of LGBT Muslims, including gay Muslims fleeing attempted “honor killings” in Algeria, Iran Palestine and in the UK.
Gay Americans seem to me right now to be far too complacent. I’m amazed that we haven’t seen more targeting of gay clubs or venues by Islamist fanatics. And I’m saddened that more gay organizations haven’t rallied to the war against Muslim religious fanatics. This is our war too.
