Ahmadi Najad Proven Wrong

One of the most famous and most ridiculous statements done by the Iranian president Ahmadi Najad during his visit to the USA was him saying: "In Iran we don’t have homosexuals like in your country"
I found this graffiti on one of the back streets of Shiraz-Iran during my trip there in December.
the writing says: "Ameen (heart) Farid" keep in mind that Ameen and Farid are both men's names.

In the story Travel photography.

    lol that is an amazing catch !!!
    the correct quote would be "In Iran we don’t have homosexuals like in your country" which like many of his comments is quite controversial haha

    Ignorance and prejudice observe no borders. I would agree that it's one of the most outrageous comments I have heard in a very long time.

    What he means is our homosexuals are different... but just the same when writing graffiti! This is gorgeous and raw and romantic and fricken brave, I love it!

    Pretty bold! Isn't the reason he was (wrongly) claiming that because they are often executed? I was thinking ... OK, the guy is subtly bragging about his people being killed???
