Iranian Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Gays...
I know I'm running a little late with this – an understatement – but yesterday saw a lot of work and time occupied (with little to spare). In case you hadn't heard....
The
Raw Story had all the details:
'No homosexuals in Iran': AhmadinejadIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad skirted a question about the
treatment of homosexuals in Iran on Monday, saying in a speech at a top
US university that there were no gays in Iran.
"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country,"
Ahmadinejad said to howls and boos among the Columbia University
audience.
"In Iran we do not have this phenomenon, I don't know who has told you that we have it," he said.
Ahmadinejad was challenged during his appearance on Amnesty
International figures that suggested that 200 people had been executed
in Iran so far this year, among them homosexuals.
"Don't you have capital punishment in the United States? You do too. In Iran there is capital punishment," he said.
