The Brian Lehrer Show

I had a friend (he died in 1988) who was born in Iran but went to high school in Britain then moved here to US because not only was he under threat of execution for being gay but was totally deserted by his family who wanted to have nothing to do with him. The only exceptions were two female cousins with whom he communicated over the years until his death. The family was asked if they wanted his remains after he died and they rejected them. It's horrible there for homosexuals but that they do not exist? LOL nervously. There are many Iranian Gays here in the US and everywhere else, just like the rest of us.

Brian,

Where were you two years ago when those two boys were hung in Iran?

Why are you beating the drum to war with Iran? What about GAYS IN IRAQ? Haiti? Saudi Arabia?

Iran has the highest sex changes in the middle east so it's not like everything there is condemed.

Wake up and realize that it is NOT in the best interest of Americans, Iranians or Israelis to be war-mongering like this. It is disturbing. If you really cared about human rights you would have covered this years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knowing how carefully Ahmedinejad chooses his words and how evasive he is in answering certain questions directly (much like any politician -- Clinton, Bush, etc.), his statement could be interpreted in any number of ways: e.g. not in kind (open) or in numbers as in the U.S.

Interesting call. I guess that answers the transgendered question stated aove!

of course there are no homosexuals in iran they kill them if they find them s0oo they are hiding!

pat robertson would love it there!

That last comment you had on this was dreadful Brian. Especially considering the gay you talked to is an expat!

duh!

if theres no Homosexual in Iran so Who am I?

we have to hide , live behind mask , why? they are searching for gays in Internet and public to bother and rape and kill and .... us in Iran mr Ahmadi nejad just is a monky that we didnt select him
