Asylum for Gay Iranians

Iran is a bad place to be if you are gay or a Christian convert (...or a woman). This week, the UK-based gay and lesbian human rights group OutRage! investigated the plight of gays and lesbians in Iran:

the government has been executing gay and bisexual men under the cover of rape and kidnapping charges.... the government has used internet entrapment of gay Iranians using foreign-based online gay dating agencies...evidence of homophobic honour killings, arrests, torture and executions.

The group is working for amnesty of gay and lesbian Iranians in the EU, UK and US. Such amnesty for gays and Christian converst was granted this week in the Netherlands.
