Look, I understand that Iraqi was probably doing this before we ever came in, but maybe one of the conditions of our liberating them should be that they have to pull their heads out of their asses and join the modern world. We all know that going to war with Iraq was a colossal cluster fuck, but after all that America has invested in it, right or wrong, we should have some say in what happens over there. And basic human rights should one of the things we mandate that goes into their constitution. I don't think that's too much to ask. Oh but we can't because it's their beliefs. Well fuck their beliefs. Seriously. Their beliefs are barbaric. Painful as it might be for them, they need to get with the times. But to execute people for being gay is just crazy. Lock them away. Deport them. Make them wear a scarlet G. Anything else. But to rob them of their lives. . . it's just horrific. And what will the US do?
Nothing. Because gay people aren't worth standing up for. Gay people aren't worth fighting for. Oh sure maybe we'll get a strongly worded statement out of the state department, but that's as far as it'll go.
Not to mention the fact that we have no moral high ground to stand on anymore because we tortured people too. And what did that torture bring us? Not a damn thing.
I could just scream.
