Are there gay pride parades in Damascus, Riyadh, Tehran, Kabul, Ankara, Baghdad, Abu Dahbi, Doha, or Cairo?
I always find it interesting when I read of all the places he feels 'unsafe' It's quite a long list. And it is entertaining further when he wont answer your question. I did not know having a gay bar = gay acceptance though. Apparently having a parade does not, so that's a twist.
I wonder if he will feel safe during he next LGBT March he attends in Beirut, Amman, or Istanbul.
Only if he knows he can survive a 5 story fall.

Tehran? Don't you remember Ahmadinejad telling his raptly attentive audience at
Columbia University that there aren't any gays in his country?
Tom is tilting at windmills because there aren't any gays in the middle east.

RE: Terrorist Attack in Jerusalem - Breaking
Arguing over the use of the word terrorist is a canard. This guy did an evil thing, and he did it with political motives. I'm fine if anyone wants to call him a terrorist, but that's not the term I would choose. But, for someone who is gay, I guess the chilling effect of this guy's action is just as chilling as Islamist terrorism is to either westerners or non-Muslims or religious liberals in the Islamic world.
