Maybe Now More Gays Will Be Pro-War

The photo above allegedly shows Mahmoud Asgari, 16, an dAyaz Marhoni, 18, about to be hanged for having homosexual sex in Iran.

"Iran is a fascist-style tyranny based on a fundamentalist version of Islam. We join with progressive Muslims to denounce the fundamentalists and to support democratic and left Iranians striving to topple the Ayatollahs."

"Without an end to the fundamentalist regime, there can never be justice for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transexual) people, women, trade unionists and minority religions and nationalities in Iran."

"The lack of liberal and left support for the victims of the Iranian tyranny is truly shocking. We deplore the absence of international solidarity with Iranians fighting for freedom," concluded Mr Lock.

I'm not sure who Mr. Lock is, or what LGBT is, but it's good to see that at least some in the gay community are realizing what's at stake in the war on terror -- not just stopping terrorist attacks, but reforming a hateful, harmful, bruttal application of Islam.

The source for this is a gay website. A h/t to Jim, who explains, "OH... I'd better explain how I got here... Last night at the opening reception for the new REI store in Huntington Beach, I met a lady(?) from a group called "Bike Out"... they are looking for bikes to fix up for GLT youth or some such... Strange folks, for sure!"
