Two gay men killed by hanging in Iran

[Behind the Aegis]

Two gay men were hanged in Iran this week, according to reports.

Abdulla Ghavami Chahzanjiru and Salman Ghanbari Chahzanjiri were killed on 6 August, according to at least one report, for ‘consensual sodomy’.

Other reports are not specific about the ‘crime’ committed by these two men, but describe them as ‘immoral villains’.

B--b-bb-but I thought there were no homosexuals in Iran? Could this be why?!

1. Technically, I guess if you murder them all...

... there won't be any gays in Iran.

RIP, Ghavami and Salman. We will remember you.

2. Another reason to beat the theocrats back under their rocks

and into the backwoods snake handling churches here. Theocracy is always hard on citizens who don't manage to be good little robots, denying anything within themselves that the religious rulers don't like.

ETA: murdering them all won't work. Heterosexuals will just produce more.
