I wish to call attention to the torture and murder of gay Iraqis, that was in the U.S. and foreign media last year, and of great concern to NGOs and gay activists. The U.S. needs to keep pressing this issue whenever possible.
To the degree that State can undertake a gay education program with the Iraqis, it must done under the rubric of human rights. Engaging govt leaders and humanitarian orgs on the need to condemn and investigate gay bashings and deaths is imperative.
There is no above-ground gay advocacy in Baghdad, but quiet networks of support for gay men do exist. Let's not forget about the many diverse human rights needs of the Iraqi people.
