...or at least in the head of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As everyone has heard, he said yesterday at Columbia University that Iran has no gay people. These were his exact words:
"In Iran, we don’t have homosexuals like in your country. We don’t have that in our country. In Iran, we do not have this phenomenon. I do not know who has told you that we have it."
How does he explain the existence of the Iranian Queer Organization, PGLO, then? Oh, yeah, he says they don't exist. According to the PGLO's Web site, "The year of 2006 has been named the Year of Social Awareness." Oh, that explains it! 2007 is the Year of Social Ignorance! Good times!
Oh well. Who am I to poke fun? George Bush probably tells people in other countries the same thing about America, after he tells them the streets are actually paved with gold and the rivers are filled with dirty-money oil. Instead of blood, which is painted all over the countries he leaves in his wake. Seriously.
Oops. We just got political.
