I'll let others comment on the political views of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, who came to New York for a visit.
But I would kindly like to remind Mr. Ahmadinejad that putting a gun to people's head doesn't make them straight. It just gives them one of two choices, neither very appealing: either find a proper mate risk the death penalty, or lead an artificial life full of emptiness and depression. If those are Mr. Ahmadinejad's goals, I hope he's happy with his stunning results.
If Mr. Ahmadinejad really thinks that there are no homosexuals in his country, I have two gay Muslim friends, both of which grew up in Muslim nations, that prove otherwise.
Enough said.
