Nathan Exposed » Gay Iraqis Raped?

I’m just trying to wrap my head around this…

If you’re a gay man in Iraq, and straight men find out you’re gay, they will kidnap you and rape you as punishment.

Hmmm…

At it’s basic core, rape is an unbearable crime that leaves permanent emotional scars on the victim. I hope we can all agree that rape is wrong.

But how in the hell do you explain a straight man raping a gay man as a form of expressing his homophobia?

Um, guys… if you’re homophobic, how do you explain sticking your dick in another man’s butt? Think about it.

Full story on CNN.

I suppose they’re going with the punishment should fit the crime theory. It’s just so wrong using any theory.

I was thinking the same thing when I read the article at work.

I hope he will be able to lead as normal of a life as he can.

It’s probably a way for homophobes to get a bit of man love without being seen as gay - you know what they say, the more homophobic a straight guy is, the more likely that he has homosexual feelings as well. The homophobic behaviour is just an over-compensation to cover up their own desires.

This seems to happen all over the place, but I just don’t get it. It’s certainly a way to humiliate the gay man, but I’m thinking the straights enjoy it–they just have to include a dose of violence to make it ok. Sad.
