I expect nothing but calm and collected responses from the regimes in question. What a perfect game to make a statement.

    Yup. But atleast you don’t get beaten to death or put in jail. But nice try at equating past US to current Iran and Egypt.

      Nah, we just torture them into suicide.

      But really, it wasn’t until the pride marches that things started to change. The best thing is for the communities in those countries to unite in pride marches. Don’t gate keep an LGBT pride marcher just because the marcher is from the “wrong” country.

        The fuck are you on about? I what way am i against pride marches? Are you high or something?

        You are quoting and refering to things that are 50+ years old. We already know that conversion is cruel and torture. But we don’t do that anymore. Which is why i think Iran and Egypt has a few things to learn NOW.

          Did I say marches or marchers? Look at what this participation shows—change; not necessarily in the old stance of the governments, but in the culturally powerful in those countries. So, while they have things to learn NOW, they are changing and this participation should be applauded.

          You are quoting and refering to things that are 50+ years old.

          I don’t know if you realize the age of those in power, but this was in the lifetime of those again trying to use government power to eliminate the LGBT population. They broadcasted it, and now they’re going to do it. The old guard here just hasn’t died off that quickly.

            I guarantee they aren’t “participating” freely. That is the whole point. Which is funny.

            The ones that you worry about are, as they always are, religiously guided. Get rid of religion and get rid of the problem.

              Take the initial olive branch now, then work on bettering things down the road.
