      As a gay male, it's a tragedy that people are treated this way in this day and age, but you know, every death in Iraq is tragic.

      WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE GOT GOING ON, ONE WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE FOCUSED ON RESOLVING THEM AND NOT ATTACK THE INNOCENT..OVERALL I TRULY FEEL SORRY FOR THE IRAQI PEOPLE..THEY HAVEN BEEN THROUGH A LOT…NO ONE SHOULD SUFFER AS MUCH AS THEY HAVE…ITS JUST WRONG !

      A horrible tragedy happened here in PEREZ's country yesterday…nothing mentioned it, but today we hear about a gay cafe in Baghdad?

      at least your hearing about them now..



    15. 15

      people who kill people for being who they are should burn in HELL!

      For anyone interested, here's some insightful books about hetero/homosexuality in Middle Eastern countries:
      Sexuality and Eroticism Among Males in Moslem Societies (Haworth Gay & Lesbian Studies) by Arno Schmitt.
      here's another good one:
      Sexuality in Islam by Abdelwahab Bouhdiba.

      everyone needs to pray for all the deaths in Iraq. this one is very very hateful and evil…may God watch over their souls.

      This is a terrible thing, but how about a word for the tens of thousands of women killed for reasons of "honor"? Hate is hate in all its forms.



    19. 19

      Gay cafe in Baghdad, let me guess, was it " Ali Bobba Knobba's" ?

      Hey, Perez, eight African-Americans were murdered in hate crimes by Latino illegal alien gangbangers in your very own city last year. Where's the outrage about that?

      Ummm PEREZ, you do know that being HOMOSEXUAL over there is illegal and the punishment for it is DEATH right? They do not tolerate gays and will execute them!

      But they're all peaceful people right?



    23. 23

      They also kill girls who have been raped, but the rapist goes free. It's obviously a shitty country, what did you expect?

      Re: RachaelBachael – I don't know where you have heard that but it is so not true.



    26. 26

      Perez, you stupid idiot. This is what you have to look forward to in this country now that Obama is president. Sharia law has crept into British society and it will eventually come here. Violent muslims have plans to take over the world and all of the "tolerance" that you preach (but don't practice) has given them a foothold. Obama (One Bad Ass Mistake America) is even looking to put muslims into his administration. This is only going to get worse and anyone who voted for Obama should be ashamed of himself.



    27. 27

      its just so fucking heartbreaking. but can u imagine the courage of these men just for being in a gay bar in baghbad?!!! That place (meaning iraq) and all places like it should just be burned to the ground.



    28. 28

      I feel sorry for any innocent dying. sorry perez, that is over in Iraq-I as a woman could get killed for numerous infractions over in Iraq. I am sure these men knew the dangers of exposing themselves as gay.
      aren't you concerned as what is going on in this country with how badly these lame bailouts are going? it is helping no one, the companies are still going done, but these greedy ceos are getting their 'bonuses' washington is out to kill us all, the CHANGE is that all of us are going to be poor. 15 dead in bingintom, father kills 5 kids in washington, dad takes 9 yo along on robbery. Why, they are DESPERATE. they have no hope, they feel that no one cares, there is no way out. Another family in LA about 2 months ago killed their 5 children after both lost their jobs. Do you have any idea what has to go through your head to end the life of your children? I have 2 and I can not fathom it and we are not doing well-I know you cannot. so no, I really do not feel sad for that story, I did cry this morning again, when I heard another family die.



    29. 29

      Klipper ,anyway you spell it You're an ass and an Idiot. And if yyou have that trash Melissa agreeing with you,you know that you are disgusting as well. This is a gay man's blog, if you have such a problem because one out of every 1,000 posts here talk about the horrible things done to gay people ,well too fucking bad jerk , It's scum like you and Melissa with the agendas.you and your repulisve republican families and friends and your assult on gay people.fck off,history won't be kind about trailer-trash like you.



    30. 30

      Re: Lady B. Good – Couldn't agree with you more. People actually think that if u didn't vote for One Bad Ass Mistake America (LOL LOL) that you are racist. I dont give a shit what people call me. I just could not vote for that man. It was just one big lovefest with the press. etc., because white people these days are so terrified of being labeled racist. That made he seem like something magical. I was gagging. anyway, my fellow Americans, you ain't seen nuthin yet



    31. 31

      Re: 1Life1Love1King – rachel rachel is NOT wrong. Do some fact finding. the a raped woman gets stoned to death. It happens all the time. Their culture is such that a woman gets just as severely "punished" for walking outdoors without an escort such as a brother, husband or other family member. I cannot believe you do not know any of this. Women in those countries lead miserable abusive lives. you just could not begin to comprehend the horrors they endure. I cannot believe you are not aware of this.

      Re: Debaucherina – for one thing i wasn't talking about self defense u fucking prick. i'm talking about violence of this nature… fucking retards are always quick to misinterpret shit all the time…



    33. 33

      Many people die in Iraq every single day, and Perez complains about 6 of them because they were gay? Heaven forbid he talks about the lives of heteros that are lost over there. No, he only bashes the military for their "don't ask don't tell" policies. Stop preaching your political agenda on a site that is supposed to be for entertainment only.



    34. 34

      Re: mama_kosher – I think you may be thinking of Saudi Arabia? I know of what takes place there (stoning of women and them needing male escorts to take them around) but have never heard of that taking place in Iraq. (i also know Iraqi's (and many Iraqi women) who disagree with this)



    35. 35

      People Shouldn't react that way no matter where they live. We are all human Gay or Straight. My uncle was a victim of a hate crime, cause he is gay. so i am Against violence towards them. they are human too. And deserve the same rights we have.



    36. 36

      So sad! Anyways you are NOT contributing to a good gay image…



    37. 37

      I feel the use of the term "hate crime" is not appropriate when one is talking about atrocities in Iraq. EVERYTHING there is a hate crime, be it committed by Iraquis, Americans, Iranians or Syrians. ANY death there is tragic, and the fact that America has put up a convenient curtain makes it all the more infuriating.



    38. 38

      This is heartbreaking. :(

    41. 41

      When it comes to gays, muslims are just as hateful as christians. Not that surprised. Religious people usually hate everyone who ain't like them and don't want to be like them.

      Since the US is still supporting the Iraqi government with about 10 billion a month, our government needs to put pressure on the Iraqi's to end this genocide. Please call your senators and congressman and complain. This is outrageous.
      Thanks Perez for letting us know whats going on in Iraq.

      Perez were you not aware there's bombing and deaths EVERYDAY in Baghdad. But when a few gays die its 'sad'.

      Dont get me wrong a horrible thing happend but c'mon!
      I'm more shock than anything knowing there's a gay cafe in BAGHDAD!

      being gay is against islam..
      you shouldnt really come out by being gay in a muslim country
      or open up a gay cafe, they brought it on themselves



    48. 48

      rrazz,they didnt bring it upon themselves ,you demonic freak. They are gay and were just trying to exist. The sad thing about Radical Islam is its everywhere in the middle-east and its starting to be the cancer of liberal tolerant wealthy europe. Radical Islam is ruining Europe and radical Christo-fascist evil-gelicals are ruining this country and they mainly populate the dixie cesspool.



    49. 49

      I am really sorry for the six men that died. The cafe in Baghdad doesn't really matter. What matters is that 6 men died.
      PEREZ, JUST 1 THING: WHY DON'T YOU POST ABOUT THE COUNTLESS OF CHRISTIANS THAT ARE DYING EVERYDAY IN INDIA, IRAK, ETC.??? i guess you're just focused on YOUR OWN interests and your gay agenda. SAD SAD SAD INDEED

    51. 51

      Klipper-Like I said you are low-life trash,Perez posts about lots of tradgedies around the world,but if it's about gay people then scum like you have to say it's about "a gay rights agenda". Wow. It kind of sounds like either you are a total republican pig,an uneducated minority or just a fckn jerk like I said the first time because those tend to be your most homophobic groups. The fact is vermin like you never notice anything but the gay posts because it jolts your pathetic lower-middle class existence, Fairly liberal my ass. You are a bigoted jerk, Oh and you scary militant christo-fascists, you are no better then the taliban,you make me sick.



    52. 52

      PEREZITO IS NOT HALF THE ASSHOLE YOU ARE; So let me follow this,you want Perez to leave out the fact that these 6 gay men were gay, even though they were targeted only for being gay. Are you on drugs cholo? It sounds like you have an agenda not Perez. Oh and you also want people who are killed for being christian to be brought up, so all of a sudden its not important that just people died but they have to be indentifed by their chosen religon as well,didn't you just lecture Perez that being just 6 men is enough why would you then have to say they are christian as well? l
      Like most uneducated radical Christo /fascists and evil -gelicals (not to be confused by the more educated liberal christians) you are not only a hypocrite but evil and dangerous too.



    53. 53

      Being gay is not a crime, it's a "feelin"…….gays cannot explain it, but it's what you dig an IT IS NOT WRONG!! iThat SUCKS!



    54. 54

      Re: LaDiva – You said ANY kind of violence… learn to communicate more clearly and while you're at it, get some class. Abusive twit.



    55. 55

      Re: knowitall – hahahaha, it looks like you really DON'T know it all… PEREZ LOOOVES TO WRITE ABOUT HOW PPL ARE UNFAIR TO GAYS. WHY ISN'T HE WRITING ABOUT HOW PPL ARE UNFAIR TO CHRISTIANS AS WELL. OR AFRICAN-AMERICANS??? BECAUSE HE PUSHES THE GAY AGENDA DOWN OUR THROATS. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT SAD OR AWFUL. BUT PEREZ ONLY WRITES ABOUT WHAT IS CONVENIENT TO HIM. He shouldn't be so biased.
      and i'm not saying that he should leave out the fact that these 6 gay men were gay. EITHER YOU CAN'T READ OR YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO REALISE THAT I NEVER SAID THAT.
      "evil and dangerous" well well well, look who's talking…
      OH, AND BTW YOUR BELOVED "liberal christians" ARE NOT REALLY CHRISTIANS. THEY DON'T FOLLOW JESUS. THEY FOLLOW THE WORLD

      Re: perezito_is_an_asshole – this is kinda his blog, he can do whatever the fuck pleases his large gay ass.



    58. 58

      So now that some gays died in Irak, you post this as news? Are you surprised? MUSLIMS HATE GAYS. THEY THINK THEY ARE AN ABERRATION.

      Since 2001 our soldiers had die in Irak, so you fuckers have the right to be GAY in this country. That is call FREEDOM. But you hate the "war", right? ….Get use to the masacre of gays, heterosesuals, bi-sexuals and all the people that have a sex between the legs in this country. Why? Because now we have a president name Obama Hussein that is doing a great job telling europeans that we are "arrogants". and that want to get out of Irak.

      Instead of defending his people he kiss ass to all the european trash….This same president do not believe in homosexual marriage, but you all voted for him, right.?..What a bunch of sissies you are….Cowards….Voting for a man who will not give you the right to love and married.-

      I'm a fucking independent and I beleive in the equality of all man regardless of their sexual orientation….But you voted for Obama….You are doomed!



    59. 59

      Re: Lady B. Good – Fuck off he already picked his Administration and there not muslim! Obama isn't even muslim you giant piece of fucking pig shit!



    60. 60

      Re: 1Life1Love1King – Shes right..she could also be referring to Honor Killings..which are to preserve the family name, typically the female is killed by a male family member for doing something which their ass backward fucked up thought processing deem as "tarnishing the famiily name" shit like this has happened in the US..in texas. Look up honor killings on youtube.
      AND, Perez..yeah this is sad but what about the three slain Pittsburgh Police officers this past weekend…is that not worthy of your site??



    61. 61

      Re: KlipperRe: Klipper – like whats your point.killing is wrong ,point blank..gay or straight.



    62. 62

      mama kosher and mansizedass: before you start profiling all middle eastern countries, do some research (youtube doesn't count). you look pretty silly claiming things that don't happen. women have every right to go out as men do and probably a little known fact, they dress like western women too! shocking? no, they probably have more skinny jeans than you do. just saying. Another thing, there would be no gay bar if the society you pictured existed.



    63. 63

      yes this is sad they should just go back to shooting woman and children like before



    64. 64

    67. 67

      Re: Debaucherina – considering you were the 1st 1 name calling, I'd advise you to get some class. if you don't like being talked down to, neither will anyone else for that matter ok twat face….



    68. 68

      You know.. you would have thought they should realize that they have bigger issues that their so called 'religion' has caused to start FORCING and even KILLING gay people.. People who didn't choose to be gay, but people who 'ALLAH' created to be gay. Grr.. RELIGION. I beleive religion is way for people, sad people, to have a sence of home for when they pop their clogs..

      Get a grip guys. Religion isn't benefiting anyone, it just kills innocent people.

      Re: Changy – LOL! Ok! I'm sure I trust your "research" after I just took a class about this shiz. Jeezz



    70. 70

      Being Gay is something ilegal and a sin in that countries! and death is the punish there, if you live there and you want to be gay, you know your life is in danger…is your choice!!! don't cry then!
      Even if hate crimes are bad, is more Sad to see how everyday childrens and women die without reason!
      thats sad not this!…

    72. 72

      Re: mansizedass – you probably didn't discuss Iraq specifically. It's funny because I think my research is little better than yours considering I am a Political Science major specializing in Middle East Studies. suck it.



    73. 73

      Changy- I-m not sure what your point is ,I'm liberal love Obama but I'm sorry Islam for the most part is a horrible violator of human and civil rights. It's dispicable towards women and gays,and many times to christians and Jews. Sure you can find a few exceptions,but you couldnt point to too many countries that are muslim that respect human and civil rights.. Secondly in places like europe which are liberal and tolerant, that freedom is being eroded with the huge influx of arab muslims who are now demanding anti-gay and anti-woman laws.



    74. 74

      What isn't said here is that these men were supposedly killed by their families because no one claimed the bodies. What they should do is go find the families and do away with the bloodline. Violence breeds more violence
