Would you wish for all 7,000 lashes at once so you could die or would you prefer the slim hope of surviving bit by bit the dozens of payments inflicted on your bare skin? This would be a lottery of the perverse, wouldn't it?Taking your winnings all at once or over time.
This outrage makes me nearly unable to type these words in a coherent way as the thought of this monstrous barbarity chills my mind as if it were being placed in interstellar space.
Remember in 2001 when dozens of Egyptian men were arrested on suspicion of being gay? The police subjected them to "examination" looking for "evidence" of gay activity. They were held nearly incognito with little legal advice ( http://tinyurl.com/ywsngt ).

Can our gay leaders only contain in their minds one issue at a time? Do you think the Bu$h Administration cares for one second if gay men are getting the life beat out of them?
I'm terribly disappointed at the smugness and self-righteousness of our national self-appointed, self-hired gay leadership. In a Dorian Gray sort of way it seems they become more like the portraits of our capitalist enemies.
