2 Iranian Teens Hanged for Being Gay

Courtesy of reporter Doug Ireland's blog: Two gay Iranian teenagers (one 18, the other believed to be 16 or 17) were executed this week for the "crime" of homosexuality the Iranian Student News Agency (ISNA) reported on July 19. The hanging of the teens was also reported by the National Council of Resistance of Iran. And the website Iran Focus not only confirms the story but provides more details, reporting that "Members of Iran’s parliament from the north-eastern city of Mashad, where a minor and an 18 yr old man were publicly hanged yesterday, vented their anger on Wednesday on foreign and domestic news outlets for reporting the ages of hanged prisoners... Hmm, where is Condi's outrage over this Iranian action? She can't rip Iran to shreds enough for their policies... oh that's right... when it comes to doing things that the GOP and Talibornagains WISH they could do, there is nothing but silence. I'll bet Fred Phelps (of the God Hates Fags site) is dancing a little jig right now, and that Pat Robertson & Jerry Falwell are salivating for the day when they can finally attend such public events in the US.
