Iraqi Gays Murdered By Their Own Tribe

The latest news about the repression of homosexuality in the Islamic world comes from Iraq where 6 gay men were murdered by members of their own tribe after members decided in a group meeting to kill them.

For all the hand-wringing about alleged repression of homosexuals in the U.S. and other western nations, this news, which is not particularly uncommon, ought to be a reality-check.
