It's interesting how much agendas of Christian fundamentalists can overlap with other religious fundamentalists. Obviously, they will never be able to get a completely straight society. Laws and persecution don't make homosexuals go away. Is a society of convenient denial what these religions truly want? In that case they aren't saving souls, they are just insulating themselves from diversity.

What is also quite interesting is that the article goes on to talk about Iran's encouragement of homosexuals to undergo sex changes. (Never mind that gender disphoria isn't necessarily linked with homosexuality...) I see in this the same agenda at work as when American Christians talk about "curing" homosexuality.

But the BIG question is: if we let the Christian fundamentalists run the country like they want to, would they do things any differently than what we are seeing in Iran? I haven't seen anything to suggest they would.

Ow,
I had NO idea that the highest number of sex change operations take place in Iran until I read this clip by a new clipper:

The clipper has some thought provoking questions in the lcip as well as you do Ow.

Here is another interesting article Ow:
