[During Ahmadinejad's appearance at Columbia University]
Asked about executions of homosexuals in Iran, Ahmadinejad said the judiciary system executed violent criminals and high-level drug dealers, comparing them to microbes eliminated through medical treatment. Pressed specifically about punishment of homosexuals, he said: "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country."
With the audience laughing derisively, he continued: "In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who's told you that we have this."

They can get sex change operations, assuming they haven't been caught having, or suspected of having, gay sex. If they have, then it's not a sex change operation they get, but a noose. Fuckers murder kids....
Well, considering they'd be shot if they had a PRIDE parade, it might be true that you don't see them in their respective fabulosity or bearish leather or whatever exaggeration they choose for the occasion.
There are just as many GLBTQ's, my good sir, they just hide it so you don't kill them. So if this 'phenomenon' is "people who aren't too scared of their own government to be themselves" then yes, your statement is true. If by 'phenomenon' you mean gay people, well, put a cork in it. You choose the hole.
I heard about this at the same time I heard of two Iranian teenagers that were publicly executed for suspicions of having gay sex. They hung them in the streets, under the guise of eliminating "child molesters", even though they were only children themselves.
Yet another reason I despise Islam as much as Christianity.
Actually, it was a homosexual Iranian guy who told us.
I think he's hanging off a street light at the moment.
...which is why religion and politics don't mix. Do you have a fax in Iran? Maybe we could send you a copy of the Treaty of Tripoli?
Who told them?, those press agencies which informed them of the execution of homosexuals in your country and of the existance of a law which demands the death of those guys who, I repeat, don't exist, according to you?
First, he denies the holocaust when attacking(verbally)Israel. Now he denies the existance of homosexuals when people ask him about their punishments. Now, when he is asked about women's rights, will he say that there are no women in Iran?, just a thought.
Nah, he already said that Iranian women had the highest level of rights in the World.
I don't know what kind of a world though.
Dear Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
If you want to know why the world hates you, look at comments like the ones you make. Also, lose the khaki blazers. You're a world leader, stop dressing like it's Casual Friday!
Sincerely,
If you're suspected of being gay you can only get out of the death penalty by having a sex change operation. Many gays have had their lives ruined by this disgusting state of affairs.
The people with gender identity disorder are alright though, except I suspect they don't get as much psychological counselling as they need.
If they'd just stopped at being accepting to the trans community that would have been amazing, but no, they had to go and be fuckheads about it. Bastards.
My first reaction was LOL, until I realized how fucking sad and deluded such a statement is.
And he's a world leader, too. I weep for humanity.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
