Not my next vacation
Even though Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad finally admits that there are probably a few gay people in Iran after claiming last year that there were absolutely none, I still think I'll pass on heading to Iran to find out for myself.
After all, Colorado has the seventh-largest gay population in the United States, so if I want gay, I can find it right here.
And while it's nice to know that Ahmadinejad has finally come out of the closet about the gay people in his country, with his attitude that homosexuality is an "unlikable and foreign act" that is illegal because it "shakes the foundations of society," "robs humanity" and "brings about disease," Iranian gays might have been safer before he acknowledged them.
