Anti-gay pogroms: the deniers

Following a link from Matt Zeitlin's blog, Jogo went to this interesting collection of editorials on the Sodomy Laws website. A couple stood out:

• The Workers World Party, the folks who gave us ANSWER, claim "there is no anti-gay pogrom in Iran". This kind of denial of reality is on a level with David Irving or the Turkish government's denial of the Armenian massacre. Yet another example of the deadly Stalinist-Islamist convergence.
  
• This editorial in the JA Observer by a Jamaican teen says there is no Jamaican homophobia. Jogo writes: "Like Kill Battyman if written by a monkey who thinks he is capable of human thought."
• This intelligent editorial in the Advocate also caught my eye, on a Palestinian lesbian activist's denial of the reality of the relative tolerance of Israel towards queer folk.
