>People really need to shift their focus on what actually is wrong with this world but as always the tiny smudge of dog shit on the sole of your shoe is an easier target than the huge crap pile down the street. You see, when US tried to change one of the countries that kill hundreds of gay men by force (Iraq) things didn't go to well... Iran doesn't care about online complaints, so complaining about them doesn't help a little bit

Homosexuality was never actually criminalized in Iraq, now don't get me wrong it wasn't a good place to be gay and honor killings were legal so your family could still get you scotfree. There were also some more and less "official" paramilitary gangs roaming around hunting for prostitutes male or female and taking care of them but no real penal code that targeted gays specifically. And I never said invasion was a good idea, but open inclusion and almost a free pass on way too much shit isn't working either, a better way needs to be found and until then I think we can all live without Saudi Arabia heading panels at the (currently oxymoronic) UN Human Rights Council or China being in a position to tell the rest of the UN members how a free press should look like.
