The Gay Far Left and Iran

Not that you would ever think there was a connection. I took the title from the Andrew Sullivian post of the same name. He wrote about a gem here. O.k. Now let me get this straight. When given the opportunity to speak out against the horrible killings of two gay teens for having gay sex in Iran...the two major human rights groups, Human Rights Watch's gay wing and the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC), refused to endorse or participate in the July 19 vigil for two executed gay teens in Iran. Why? Because they do not want to be seen on the same side as the Bush Administration against Iran. Instead, they blame the US death penalty for the problem...yeah I know I don't get it either.
