Gay Iranian May Escape Execution

The UK granted a temporary reprieve from deportation to a gay Iranian teen, while they review his previously rejected asylum application. Mehdi Kazemigot, claims he will be executed upon return to Iran. While in England studying English, Mehdi got the word that his boyfriend had been hanged back home on account of his homosexuality. Before being executed, his boyfriend named Mehdi as his partner.

Since 1979, 4,000 gay and lesbian Iranians have been executed. Last year, while speaking at Columbia University, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sparked laughter, and outrage, when he pronounced that Iran does not have the homosexual “phenomenon.”

Today’s “cooked” elections, which excluded all reform candidates, will yield little change in Iran. Do you think countries like England have an obligation to act as a safe haven for people like Mehdi?

Homophobic Scottish Bishop attacks the “gay lobby”

A Scottish Bishop has attacked the “gay lobby” for what he percieves as their attack on Christian values.

The Right Rev Joseph Devine, the Bishop of Motherwell, told a Glasgow audience that the gay lobby presented “an image of a group of people under persecution”.

In the fourth of the Gonzaga Lectures held at the city’s St Aloysius’ College, Bishop Devine also spoke about sectarianism, praising joint-campus schools and noting the significant rise of Polish Catholics in Scotland.

He vowed to “fight on against the forces of secularism” saying this was “more dangerous as a threat because it is much more insidious”.He said: “The homosexual lobby has been extremely effective in aligning itself with minority groups. It is ever present at the service each year for the Holocaust memorial.

“We neglect the gay movement at our peril.

“I want to ask you if you are able to see the giant conspiracy that’s taking place before our eyes?”

He said: “It’s a very small group of people, but very active and organised, and extremely indulgent. The opposition know exactly what they’re doing. We don’t.”

What outrageous paranoia! How can an intelligent man come out with such crap.

And as for the quote that Gay people are ever present at the Holocaust memorial - sadly, another example of ignorance and the ignoring of Gypsies and Gays who were victims of the Holocaust.

Channing Tatum

Gorgeous Channing Tatum movie update… Channing Tatum was on hand for the Hollywood premiere of his latest movie Step Up in Los Angeles, CA last night … here are pictures of his beefy hotness from the premiere:

It looks like it’s in the same vein as Save the Last Dance and Honey so I think I’ll enjoy the movie immensely. I’m always a fan of movies where you can save the world by overcoming the doubters and dancing your way to freedom. I’ll bet $10 that Channing is shirtless in more than one scene … yep, I’ll be there for sure. [Source, Source]
