While I am very happy about the lastest developments in Sweden, Iowa & Vermont there are some regions in the world where things are quite different. In the past two months, the bodies of as many as 25 boys and men suspected of being gay have turned up in the huge Shiite enclave of Sadr City, Iraq. In most cases, it is the families that are killing the gay son. Clerics in Sadr City have urged followers to help root out homosexuality in Iraqi society, and the police have begun their own crackdown on gay men. When will this madness end?
