When did I mention gays? At what point was I trying to defend Iran? Because I'm not. Don't change the subject here. Your quote was:

"The point is in parts of Iran on the ouskirts people are taken hostage, raped, heads chopped off, and false accusation. Thats not a place you want to visit."

Right, and so do parts of the United States, UK, Australia, France, Italy, Saudi Arabia who are your buddies and other countries. That's a general thing to say. This isn't singular to just Iran.

Rape: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics

Hostage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hostage_crises

False accusation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_accusation_of_rape#Police_in_Victoria.2C_Australia_.282006.29 Also same thing can be said about your cops, some are accused guilty, some get their charges dropped, some are legit, others aren't just.

Beheadings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Saudi_Arabia Basically a form of the death penalty, which the US approves in 32 states by lethal injection.

I don't give a shit about Iran. You can say you don't want to go there because you don't like Islam music, or the culture, or that you don't know anything about the country, that is fine. Iran has an oppressive piece of shit government and it is much safer travelling to US or other Western countries. But don't say people don't want to visit Iran because some people have been sexually assaulted (happens in Western countries), got given the death penalty (happens in US and Saudi Arabia), taken hostage by a maniac (happens MANY times in Australia, US, UK and many more) or have been falsely accused (you think the US Justice System is 100%?). Think again.
