CNN Reports, after a YouTube video of gay Iraqis dancing surfaced on the internet, attacks in Iraq have risen dramatically. Estimates put the numbers in the hundreds of those who have been killed and many more attacked or beaten, stoned, doused with acid, or other brutalities. Often it is the family who kills their child after being singled out by police or notices posted with names of suspected gay people.

The government that your good 'ol American tax money funds is publicly condemning the attacks but appears to be doing nothing to stop them.

1. How Enlightened We Are!

We don't kill gays over here, we just deny them basic rights.

Oh, wait...we kill them, too. My bad.

4. Thanks for the link ..

Simply horrible..what happens there to men and women in other parts of the middle east.
Gay bashing still happens here in San Francisco, from time to time, as well. Humanity
still has a long way to grow up. I wonder how long that will take...

5. Somebody remind me again what good religion does for the world. Islamic or Christian,

it doesn't seem to matter that gay people are human beings.
