Having a relationship with another man (and nothing more) does not mean you are gay. You are adopting as fact a highly disputed allegation about Lincoln. On the other hand, if Lincoln was gay, it certainly would explain that civil war thing.</p>
<p>No only do many Iranian men (especially not yet married men) regularly engage in homosexual acts, they also engage in pedophelia. They have sex with young boys who play the role of women. When those boys grow up to be men, they find boys and place them in the role of women. Since they view it merely as a sexual relationship, they don’t consider themselves to be homosexuals.</p>
<p>mini could nuance the meaning out of a Pol Pot speech. Every college in the country has a creative writting course but if anyone every starts a crerative reading course mini will chair the department:-)</p>
<p>I am still mulling whether I would rather be wiped from the face of the earth or erased from the pages of time and frankly neither sound too enticing.</p>
<p>“But if you had called him (Lincoln) “gay”, he wouldn’t know what you are talking about.” - mini</p>
<p>So basically MA, Lincoln, and Senator Craig are all the same huh? Was Lincoln hot for his camel too? Young man there’s no need to fel down down. Pick yourself off the ground because your in a new town there’ no need to ne unhappy…</p>

<p>I am sure you have a video camera gazing nto the rooms of Iranian men, and are a voyeur into acts of pedophelia, which is why you are so sure of yourself.</p>
<p>As for Lincoln, if it walks like a duck, acts like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is likely not a hippo.</p>
<p>And if you read what I said, you would see that I did NOT claim that Lincoln was gay. Still wouldn’t - and the word “homosexual” wasn’t even coined until he was dead. But I guess the nuance was lost on you, and you didn’t bring your camera. (in fact, you should have noted that I quote Razorsharp, who was talking about STRAIGHT Muslims.)</p>
<p>Garland - I hope you read the NY Times article carefully - Reza never heard Ahmadinjedad’s speech. (But as I wrote before, the plight of gay folks in Iran is horrible, horrible.)</p>
<p>Indeed, Muhammad married one of his wives when she was six years old. He was in his 50s. As I recall, he consummated the marriage when she was nine. </p>
<p>It’s funny how you have not denied that young straight Iranian men have sex with other males more frequently than in the West.</p>
