Farsad and Farnma. They began life secretly as a couple in Tehran, and 15 minutes into a small gathering they put together to celebrate their relationship, the Iranian police burst into their apartment and arrested them. They received 60 lashes. Each."We were beaten to the point that my spine hurt permanently; I still feel the pain caused by the fists pounding my face," Farsad says.
Iran's code on intercourse between two men (lavat):
Article 110: The hadd [punishment] for lavat where penetration has occurred is death and the method of execution is at the discretion of the Sharia judge.
There is an Iranian gay rights organization called the IRanian Queer Organization. I intend to donate.
