According to Iranian human rights campaigners, over 4,000 lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs seized power in 1979. Altogether, an estimated 100,000 Iranians have been put to death over the last 26 years of clerical rule.
Two gay teenagers were publicly executed in Iran on 19 July 2005 for the crime of homosexuality. The youths were hanged in Edalat (Justice) Square in the city of Mashhad, in north east Iran. They were sentenced to death by Court No. 19.
Iran enforces Islamic Sharia law, which dictates the death penalty for gay sex.
Odds are neighbors or even family may have saw them and reported them.How did they discover the homosexuality? Caught in the act?
Homosexuality is wrong, but this is a very sad story.

...which means there's at least a solid chance the boys were innocent of anything sexually perverted.
Very sad, if the account is true.
From what I can remember, they had had sex and were involved....which means there's at least a solid chance the boys were innocent of anything sexually perverted.

even if they were gay it's not good

They weren't doing anything wrong, really. But this is life. People hate other people for not being within their ideals and some kill over it.Speculation still - but regardless, when people sin, you help them find a way out of their sin - NOT kill them.

Phsyical death vs. pseudopsychological bullshit.If you are a Muslim, you know homosexual behaviour is sinful. Yet, you bow to your urges and lusts and committ homosexual behaviour. Now you're found out, and killed for your Sin. The difference between Christianity and Islam is, when a CHRISTIAN engages in Homosexual activity, and is found out, they are given support, treatement, prayer, encouragement to STOP their sinful behaviour.
Get it?
Good point.

It's a lose/lose situation, but I'd take the pseudopsychological bullshit.

there is nothing wrong w/ being gay
There's lots wrong with it from a biological standpoint - but from a 'religious' standpoint, it's sinful in most every major religion.
there are man and women who even after tons of treatment STILL can't procreate,
and Religion ,the major 3 were violent and i don't really pay attention to texts that are 4,555 yrs old
You'll excuse me please if I wonder what the hell that has to do with the topic at hand.
Well, toots, you posted this in the RELIGION/ETHICS forum. YOU don't pay attention to religion - that's fine. I guess this thread is a warning to Muslims they sure as hell better pay attention to THEIRS, at least when living in a Country run by Islamic Law.
You brought the issue that bein gay goes against "nature" b/c they can't have kids right?
I beg to differ. I made NO mention of procreation. Read through again maybe?
