Egypt "hunting down" gays, conducting forced anal exams

CAIRO (Reuters) - Six Egyptian men arrested for “promoting sexual deviancy” and “debauchery” on social media will be subjected to anal examinations ahead of their Oct. 1 trial, Amnesty International said on Saturday.

Their arrest is part of a wider crackdown against homosexuality that started last week when a group of people were seen raising a rainbow flag at a concert, a rare public show of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights in the conservative Muslim country.

At least 11 people have since been arrested, Amnesty said, and one man has been sentenced to six years in jail after local media launched a highly critical campaign against those who raised the rainbow flag at a Mashrou’ Leila concert, a popular Lebanese alternative rock band whose lead singer is openly gay.

Amnesty said the Forensic Medical Authority was due to subject the six men to anal examinations to determine whether they have had homosexual sex.

[“promoting sexual deviancy” and “debauchery”]

Yep, that fits antichrist spirit (at the minimum) Obama, perfectly.

I’m sure Obama thinks it’s funny.

Now.

I guess it depends on what government decides is the important reason for getting up in your ass.

Lawsuit: Drug search included colonoscopy (NM-triggered by minor traffic stop)

Sounds like homosexuals came up with the idea for these exams.

There’s a lot of latent faggotry in Islam.

Gee, perhaps some of our vocal glbtqx folks should fly over and voice their concerns on site. ‘First hand experience’ and all. If you really care glbtqx community, you’ll do it.

The bright side of Sharia Law would be seeing the people who want to force other people to bake pervert wedding cakes thrown from tall buildings.

A little perspective is instructive.

These events from Egypt show some real oppression, real dangers to homosexuals.

Here they bitch about wedding cakes and call it oppression. They make themselves look stupid, in my opinion, when they bitch about such issues, when homosexuality is treated harshly in many parts of the world.

He looks scared, but he’s actually just hoping to get picked to do the exams.

Yes, they can all go to Egypt and order their wedding cakes.

They can march for their pride in the streets.
