About $2 million has already been budgeted on the campaign, which includes enhanced use of Internet tools such as YouTube and increased briefings for foreign journalists on the Iranian nuclear program. Other targeted audiences include Jewish groups concerned about Ahmadinejad’s denial of the Holocaust.

MrX1, ...

I don't know whether you "have had too much wine or whether it was a dream" but  ... The fact of the legitimacy of Iran's nuclear programme has absolutely nothing to do with treatment of gays.  Any indication of joy and progress in Iran displayed on this site gets a hateful backlash from those who do not wish to see a democratic and progressive Iran that is not run from Washington or Tel Aviv. 

As for democracy and progress, I'd rather Iran any time, than that "shitty little racist country" that slaughters innocent populations without remorse, practices apartheid, and threatens wars.

How about Israel itself?

February 20, 2008, Shlomo Benizri, a Knesset member from the Shas party, a member of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's ruling coalition, blamed earthquakes that had recently struck the Middle East on the activities of homosexuals.

In 1997, President Ezer Weizman compared homosexuality to alcoholism in front of high school students.[7]

How about Israel say a word or two about US/European allies? ("moderate" Saudi Arabia!!! lol) ... This selective PR campaign is extremely revealing of Israel's "do anything to maintain monopoly in the MidEast" policy. Essentially this fozool nation wants to stop dialogue between the US-Iran.

Israeli Pride - haha

Poor Israel right wing is so desperate for more falsehood propaganda that they have found nobody else other than a few "gays" (who knows what that word means here) to support their cause. Israel right wing is having such a hard time these days. I think next, they will appeal to jailed murderers and rapist for support.

wait, did you READ either post?

and didn't you understand that just because this bribe was offered doesn't mean all Gays are going to take it? But it does mean that their cause will be tainted?
