because of the laws that allow them to kill homosexuals? What do you think?

It means that no one in Iran will admit to being homosexual, for fear of execution.
They have the same percentage of homosexuals as any country.

They don't admit it because it's illegal, but there are just as many homosexuals in Iran as anywhere else. Indeed many people turn a blind eye to it. The Middle Eastern culture is full of romantic stories about the love men have for one another, while in contrast the feelings of men for women are portrayed as violent and suppressive.
It's quite acceptable for two men to walk around holding hands in Muslim countries. It's when a man and a woman hold hands that the clerics in their black robes swoop down to intervene.

How do you know there's no homosexuals in Iran? They are probably plenty, but they have to keep it secret.
Believe me, before you believe that nut job sitting in their president's chair when he says there are no homosexuals in Iran, just remember he's the same guy saying that Iran isn't trying to develop a nuclear bomb.
Rigghhtttt....

I don't agree. I believe there are homosexuals everywhere....and I doubt seriously if laws would stop them from living a lifestyle they choose.....even if it meant staying in the closet.
People are going to do whatever they feel makes them happy regardless of the consequences.

That is ridiculous because there are gay people everywhere. I have known gay Iranians. They left Iran specifically because they were persecuted. There are just as many gay Iranians per capita in Iran as there are gay people in the USA. They just have to live oppressed, deceitful lives to avoid being killed for the way God made them.

I think that our 'buddy' Ahmedinejad (whatever) was lying his anti US and anti Jewish butt off. He kills them in his country, and so there are homosexuals in his country. He is nothing more than a evil man who has power like Hitler was. And Hitler would lie his butt off too.
I watched that broadcast, he as evasive to the questions as he could be. Any liar will avoid those questions similar to what he did.

The Quran instructs them to execute homosexuals. So of COURSE there aren't going to be any in an Islamic country.

When a faith uses fear of murder to achieve its ends, all integrity dies.
Not Allah but the mullah if feared.

I disagree. i think of there are some people who could evaluate themselves gay in the event that they lived interior the U. S., yet do no longer evaluate themselves so in Iran simply by cultural variations and the very strict prohibition Iran has against homosexuality. those people do no longer even understand that they could probably be gay if that they were born and raised interior the U. S.. i think of there's a smaller style of folk who evaluate themselves gay yet will by no ability act on it and marry and bring up infants and easily spend their lives ignoring it. and that i think of there is an incredibly small style of folk who're gay and who will bypass out and form gay relationships. those people, whilst caught, are performed. easily, i think of that the sexual openness of the U. S. and Western Europe has brought about people to settle for truths approximately themselves and act on them whilst the sexually repressed subculture of Iran has brought about a lot of people to bury those truths so deep that they won't even recognize them simply by fact the reality could lead on them to be an abomination. If an identical guy or woman with an identical recommendations and gay dispositions is born interior the U. S. and Iran, they are going to grow to be diverse adults. the baby contained in america will advance up seeing gay people on television, and seeing them in his community, and whilst he may be uncomfortable together with his gay dispositions in the start, the style of babies in his extreme college who're brazenly gay will ease his recommendations, and he will additionally grow to be brazenly gay. the baby in Iran will advance up by no ability seeing gay people, and basically pay attention approximately homosexuality as something horrifically evil, and if he hits puberty and those dispositions be able to interrupt by using his cultural ideals in any respect, he will at as quickly as suppress them. i do no longer locate what President Ahmadinejad suggested incredibly frightening, in spite of the reality that i'm particular he's conscious that folk have been performed for homosexuality and don't understand why he could bypass to an attempt to lie approximately it. and that i believe you that Ahmadinejad isn't a gay. between secular individuals, people who're strongly anti-gay, the way Ahmadinejad is, are many times theory to sense that way simply by fact they have repressed gay dispositions themselves. yet as President Ahmadinejad isn't secular, and has good non secular and cultural ideals that steer away from him from accepting homosexuality, this does not practice.

I think he meant to say, "there are no known 'living' homosexuals in Iran". They get executed upon discovery..
