Who cares if he is gay

The Iranian government is [no profanity] everybody.

This is for dear Reza.

I'd suggest you to influence Iranians (I mean majority who live in Iran) without speaking about politics.  In that way you would present Iranian gays in a larger concept (i.e. not only Iranian gays who are againts or in favour of something, or only the ones that you like them and accept their view).

There are great number of Iranian gays with different political, cultural and religious believes who live inside Iran.  They all need help in analysis and clarification of their own life including sexuality.  Sex is not the first priority for many family/partner/spouse oriented gays.  

There are also so many Iranian gays who are selectivly known as gays in a smaller community like their immediate family.

Iranian gays who live in Iran need security and safety.  They shouldn't be encouraged to introduce themselves as gays in public.  As you probably know gay culture in Iran is very different from gay culture in the west. Most present the actor's life style in the "Shame" movie.

Please remember you are a celebrity now, and your words are foundation for younger gays including Iranian gays and their relative and familites.

Good luck and all the best.

This show

does not represent most Iranian Americans

but it is much preferred to ultra negative images of Iranians portrayed by U.S media and on IC.

Embarrassing

Trying to be very objective here. This show is really about a bunch of goof balls who could be of any nationality.

A flaming Gay.

A starving, no talent, self proclaimed "artist".

An overweight "torshideh" drunk

An uneducated self cenetred Tatooed spoiled brat

An over the hill, over weight, self proclaimed "Rich Ladies man"

And a stroided filled arrogant mama's boy.

They are all differnt, but have two things in common:

They are all in it for the money and they do not represent any facet of the Iranian community.

fomage- way too much of it.

by omid@hotmail.com on Tue Mar 20, 2012 06:06 AM PDT

but I wouldn't expect anything less from Bravo? It's a cheesy channel.

Last but not least, good for any GLBT to come out of any community.
