Gay Iranian Seeking Asylum - Comments

That's So Sad!!! ANd UNFAIR!! if Islamic People had'nt invaded iran, Iranians don't ( at least from the ones i've met) dont hate gays, it's just the religion that believes its wrong!! :(

It's kinda sad that both christians and the mueslims believe homosexualtiy is wrong !!!

If god did'nt believe/want homosexuality he wouldnt have made it? am i right because for everything there is a reson... e.g. if there wasnt the poor, what could the rich make profit from, there fore where would huge companys get money to support a bussiness and how would the average people be able to work for MONEY so they can buy things and put money (mostly in ) rich people pockets and sometimes poor peoples???

Anyway I still think thats it s wrong to kill torture someone cuz of their sexuality! Islam and Christians and anyone else who discrominates because of sexuality shoul dgo re learn what god wants.. or what they believe

i can't believe people are tortured and killed for this
it's so sad and completely inhumane

That's so fucked up..

There us nothing wrong with being gay,lez,or homo.
If they have a problem they are prejudices.
If they make fun of you for it then you punch them just like if they want to kill you for it you start a riot!

This just shows that the human race is a lost cause.
Religion and beliefs will always be used as excuses to punish and murder
people for race/gender/sexual preference/etc.

Laws are supposed to not be made on based on religious views,
because not everyone in one country belongs to the same religion.

Yet, it happens.
You get killed in some countries.
You can't get married in others, in countries that are supposed to be [i]free[/i].

It's one of the few things I like about living in England, we can love and marry who we want. (For the most part, theres some exceptions, obviously.)

By the way Supertina, Being Middle-eastern doesnt mean your homophobic.

I'm Iranian, and I know myself that there are heaps gay Persians that departed Iran because the Government would kill them
Iran used to be free country until Islam invaded it.
Thats why I'm living in Australia.

I really hope he gets asylum.

holy shittin cow, thats pure evil! I feel so bad for him, and hope strongly he gets asylum.

oh my god, that's so sad! no one should ever be hanged just because they like someone from the same sex!

That's so wrong...But I agree with everyone that Iran has their old beliefs and we cannot change them.

I hope he gets permission. Nobody deserves to be killed for their sexuality...

thats really messed up.

That's so meessed up.
God, I guess you really don't realise how good you have in in America
It's so hard keeping it in here, can you imagine how hard it is there?!

XX

thats... messed up.
I know its their culture and beliefs, but how about instead of hanging them, they give them the choice to moving to a new country that allows it.

This is really unfair and sad =( People don't have the right to tell you who should you be. And that's so typical. Most of; well actually, all of the Islamic/Arab countries are against gay rights. In Kuwait they only send you to jail if you were a homosexual. I'm thankful for not living in Iran.
This boy deserves our prayers.

wrong, yes. So much so I want to cry.
BUT
we cannot change someone elses beleifs just because it's wrong to us.
BUT
it is not fair in any culture to kill someone for their sexual preferance. Everyone deserves to live.
BUT
we cannot change it. So, alas, we must deal.
We can protest as much as we want,
We can scream its wrong until out lungs give out,
... but we cannot do anything but hope, that they'll see a light...

... of a kind...
I'm sorry, but it's a matter that we have no power over,
Let us just hope that he gets asylum.
Hope... it's so... small... but useful for self esteem and belief... no?

D:
oh this is so sad.
but like the person below me, it's (sadly) the culture of Iran.

I agree this is completley terrible
because I am all for Gay Rights.
But people who are making ignorant comments
have to understand that this is the culture of Iran
and what people believe is right.
It doesn't make them any less human.
It's just their own belief system. And in their opinions, they're doing nothing wrong.

I think it's wrong though.
And I hope he gets his permit.

It's sooo wrong, but it's there culture....
it sux though
I know my dad dosn't like gay people either cuz he's from the Middle East, but he'd never want to kill one, he'd just probaly stay away from them.

That is absolutely horrible. Killing somebody just because of their sexual preference, that really does sicken me. If they did that too my girlfriend, i'd be on a personal vendetta to kill them, i'd be like well your straight that's why i'm killing you.

I said this to my firend yesterday aswell, i was like well it's like me going up to a homophobe and saying i don't like you because your straight. You don't deserve to have equal rights.

Being gay does not make you any different too a straight person. Homophobes p*ss me right off.

thats stupid. to get arrested just because you like someone. it's hard to believe that people still can't accept the fact that there will be people who will like the same gender, even though it's the 21st century
