13. What century is this??

That this even still occurs is beyond reprehensible. Perhaps it is because Iran was "bullied" by the West and that is why they feel the need to murder gay people?! ( because of another recent, bullshit laden story). What I don't know and have always wondered, is do these laws apply to oral sex? I always see references to anal sex and "gay" sex is much more than just "fucking". I am very serious in that I have looked and haven't really been able to find anything other than anecdotes. Does anyone know if it is any homosexual act or just acts which involve anal intercourse?

I also noted how the "victim" may not really be a victim but decided to claim that status in order to avoid death. That is another issue which is deeply troubling.

Homophobia/Heterosexism KILL!
