The Search for Homosexuals in Iran
I don't want to get political or anything, but I just have to say that New York has been fun this week with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cruising the city and enjoying the spotlight.
My gay friends have especially enjoyed his statements about Iran having no homosexuals and, now, they feel committed to go there and test it out. On the contrary, I have heard that gay sex may be quite common in Islamic countries because it is often not considered "real sex."
Leave it to The Borowitz Report to deal with the issue: "Iran Invites UN Inspectors to Find Homosexuals in Iran, Permits Use of Advanced Gaydar."
Don't laugh too hard. This is a serious issue.

I have read about a reality that imparts a new awareness and at the same time I am not rideing on the edge of my chair for more. I would like to tell you about a judge I met who is from India and how it is that he lives a life of freedoms. Is it fortuneatly available that while pursueing freedoms that the limelight keeps imortant figures away from common everyday knowledge.

I have read about corresponding litturature and neither am shocked or rideing on the edge of my chair. I would like to share with you a conversational with a Judge from India, haveing Immagrated. He spoke that the laws were for the little people. His position allowed him the luxury of partaking of otherwise banned involvement. He had no real concept of what common life is involving.

"to go there and test it out."? Why would you risk your life doing that? They're nuts over there, they'll kill you.

Well, Iran is not alone in their belief. Come to South Korea. There are no homosexuals here, according to the South Koreans....

I am not gay; However there is the right of self exspression, within respectfull communication and personal invovements. There is a different ellement involved that some indiviuals rise to a pecular stature that allows them freedom from laws that everyone else is required to obey. The statement "We don't have that in my country", is a challenge because either this person is totaly nieve or trying to present a picture that effects the self judgment of ethics. When something exists and he says it doesn't, then there is a big problem. What about his purposes to engauge in nuclear enrichment.The President of Iran can not be trusted. Gay or not, lying sets the stage for tragety.

I was wandering about on a path in some woods in Japan some time back, I think it might have been in Kamakura, wondering what the hell I was doing wandering about without any water, and lo and behold, when I finally figured out how to get out of the woods, at the end of the path was a vending machine. It felt like divine intervention.
