I just started reading this report on the torture and murder of gay men in Iraq. I couldn't make it through the whole thing. It's terrifying that there's no way to truly know the total number of deaths, but the guess is somewhere in the "hundreds." That means that there are so many more unreported deaths out there.
The sheer joy the murderers seem to take in torturing their victims before leaving the bodies in their neighborhood is just disgusting.

About Me
- Michael
- I’m Michael, an amateur anthropologist/japanologist, gaming enthusiast, movie junkie, and foodie. I moved to Los Angeles in August of 2009 to spend a year working before attending UCLA for a master’s degree. My main academic interests are Japan, sexual minorities/gender, and popular media. This blog is mainly to keep my friends informed of my doings, to serve as a sounding board for my ideas, and to provide a place to rant and rave about whatever. I warn you that the contents of this blog often will be very politically left-wing, pro-sexuality, and a little gay.
