Two Boys Executed In Iran For Being GAY

It has been reported by Michael Rogers of PageOneQ.com that 2 Iranian boys have been lashed 228 times and hanged for sexual crimes-being gay. (This has been confirmed by other news sources). I was going to write something about this, then decided not to because it is such a sickening thing. I am not going to say much about it but this: If there is a Heaven, these boys and others who have to experience such hatred, brutality, and injustice should be in the best spot there.

Was this a government sanctioned thing or is it akin to the other killings we hear about (a woman killed because she had sex outside of marriage etc...) either way it is an abomination!

Government sanctioned. The government was upset at journalists because they reported the age of the teens. It is suspected both were probably under 17 when the incident occurred.

Well now you see the kind of world it would be would that a government that is a theocracy held sway!
