Lets hope attention is brought to this and the UN handles it diplomatically if possible. We dont need another Hitler on our hands.

I really don't think so.
It shouldn't be a surprise to any gay person that the middle east, like most other places in the world, is also still highly homophobic.
Honestly, how much real time does any given lay person spend learning about Iran or its culture? I'll go ahead and offer up my own experience. I have two Bachelor's degrees and a Master's degree, all spanning very different subjects, and the master's had a strong cultural component. And yet with ALL that, I still know almost nothing about Iran that I haven't picked up from the mainstream media.
With that in mind, why should I have a strong opinion that we need to go to war with this nation? I have a problem with MOST war supporters, because they don't seem to know much about the countries with which the administration is suggesting a war.

This policy has been common in the middle east for the past 2000 years. This is not news to most gay men. We are painfully aware that gay men can be tortured or killed in many countries, just on the basis of their sexual orientation.
In the US, while they can't actually kill us, they can refuse housing, services, and jobs to men just on the basis of being gay; and while there is a bill going through the Senate tomorrow trying to make these practices illegal, President Bush has already said he'll veto any such measure.
The US has no record to rely on in the human rights area since it established torture camps abroad, and Gitmo in Cuba.

If anything I would hope it would help galvanize lgbt's in America to get more active in righting the wrongs of this administration and the church.We should become role models to are lgbt brothers and sisters in the middle east and demand the US government offer them political asylum.The government has long offered asylum to oppressed people from all over the world and we should push them to do so in this case as well.

You missed what he said, "there are no homosexuals in Iran".
"Also, in Iran the sky is green, there is no gravity, and spring lasts all year long."
His nose is now 8 feet long coincidentally exciting the gays that don't exist.

I'm a homosexual U.S. woman.
I don't think so. Iranian government's execution of homosexuals has been well-known among Western homosexuals for many, many years.

Gays are generally to pacifistic to recommend a military solution...

I doubt it. I would have to wonder about the religious right thinking that this is a good idea here in this country though. Kinda scary.
