Members JKane Posted May 6, 2012 Members Posted May 6, 2012 LGBT Slaughter in Iraq I don't know enough about this source to promote them for donations, but it's an issue that needs more attention... Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 This is probably one of the biggest human rights issues globally now not just in Iraq. Very sad. I love what Hillary is trying to do for this issue but she faces deaf ears in most countries because she hears, "we don't have people like that in our country. . ." HA HA HA Quote
Members JKane Posted May 7, 2012 Author Members Posted May 7, 2012 Agreed, but I think Iraq is especially our responsibility as we took one of the only secular (and fairly tolerant of a lot of things, though I don't know their history on LGBT) governments in the middle east and turned it into as clusterfuck religious civil war followed by whatever the fuck this is...

Guest EXPAT Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 I think it is the same in almost every Middle Eastern country. But you are right we do have a special duty in Iraq since we over turned the country. I traveled throughout the Middle East a lot for work (where I could travel legally) and there is complete denial that there are any gay people in any of those countries. But I have to say they are all full of very hot men that's for sure. Just go into a Prada store in Dubai. . . Quote
