I am 27, y/o gay man live in Iraq, in a country with no gay rights, no respect to gays and more than that we get killed for being gays.
What's your advice to GLBT's in a third world country like Iraq?

Just bombing the place would kill even more innocent civilians. When a country is fighting for their freedom from occupation, as many Iraqis feel like they are, they tend to have a lot more invested in the fight than the armies of the occupying country. They know the land, they fight harder, etc. Besides, we have this thing called the military industrial congressional complex, which basically just means that a lot of people make a lot of money off of war, so there is little reason to stop or scale back Iraq because then we'd just need a new country to attack so those people keep making big bucks... Kinda like Libya? Hmmmm

I would probably try to seek political asylum in another country.
My fiancee just turned down a job that would have us traveling to the Middle East... I'd love to go, but I don't think I could live anywhere that homosexuality is punishable by death. I've been out of the closet for my entire life, and I don't think I could physical get in it! I'm sure that I would make an innocent mistake - like holding her hand - and we'd be executed.
If you aren't able/willing to leave, your only real option is to keep quite about it. That must be awful - my heart goes out to you.

I would be terrified, a country like yours or in the middle east is a scary place to be.
With so much hate all around you and all of this hate being religiously backed ...........I would do anything I could to leave that part of the world.
There is no changing history of such cultures, they are fighting the same fights they have for thousands of years. It seems as though they have not progressed in those thousands of years either............I'm speaking progress of the heart and spirit, progressed out of that prehistoric fanatical religious belief system.
Run to another country so that you can live free and fully.

Move somewhere in the country that may be more sympathetic to gays

Get out of there!
If you can't do that, with enough people, you can accomplish anything. But that will cost too much blood shed. Best thing, like I said earlier, get out of there as fast as you can.

Free yourself as soon as you can. Get out. There is no other choice.
