I was at the grocery store and saw this.

close up

That yellow box on the lower right corner caught my eye. Then I saw this written:

magazine

Wow!

DYING TO COME OUT GAY IN IRAQ!

Ever wonder why we got so desensitized to all the bloodshed. The fact that 655,000 Iraqis died for the ongoing war in Iraq doesn’t make anyone bat an eye. And look what makes headline in a yellow box!

Media… never ceases to beat me!

Excellent point. Car bombs, executions, children being slaughtered, and they write a cover article on gay rights. If you are in a fundamentalist Muslim country, stay in the closet for your own sake and safety. It’s not like you are white Westerner walking around the streets of Baghdad, you won’t have a target painted on you.

It’s all a matter of what sells. The media got tired of reporting deaths years ago. Now they only care if the number hits a milestone. But they sell what the public wants, so who is really to blame? I’m just sayin….

I think your one word: “MEDIA” says it best. We can just say…’enough said’. It already says it all.

I guess it is hard to be a gay person and live in Iraq, Afghanistan or any middle east close minded country.

After almost 9 years of war in Iraq, there is still no light on the end of tunnel for Iraq gays. They will have to wait a little more before they come out.
