Iraq’s official media regulator has directed all media and social media companies operating not to use the term “homosexuality". The Arab stated told to replace the word ‘homosexuality’ with ‘sexual deviance’, Reuters’ report mentioned.
Why do strict religious governments in the Middle East resemble Republican and Conservative governments in the west so much?

Because religious conservatism looks the same, regardless of where it happens
I will never understand the mind of religious nuts. Stealing, killing, cheating, crimes that are explicitly written in stone as commandments: “ah that’s ok it’s human nature”. Kissing someone you like: “noooooooooo”
Bible: “Don’t gangrape strangers to town just because they’re pretty”
Nuts: “Clearly this means that dudes loving dudes is a sin”
Their mind is: whatever is done to extend religion, YES!
So they’re fine with cheating with someone’s wife, but without kissing?
The only allowed expression from now on is “fabulous”.
“Zesty”
So banning the word will eliminate the behavior?
That’s some epic magnitude magical thinking there, for damn sure.
It’s like when some places in the US stopped testing for COVID - no tests = no positive results = no COVID. Flawless logic.
Ron DeSantis: I choose to believe
They don’t want to eliminate anything. That’s just an easy win in the hearts of fanatics and one more layer of oppression. Like if there are lack of them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Iraq What’s more there to add?
Although, eradicating homosexuality as a possible thing from a public speech has weight. Mixing them with whatever-you-can-think-of too.
If someone less brainwashed could’ve had some compassion for a ‘misguided’, ‘ill-informed’ person, now they’d not even know if they were charged for being gay (or a sin of sodomy, yup) when this state hangs them. In the media, they would be not unlike a serial child rapist. And gay people just don’t exist anymore, yeah, just deviants.
Also, their ‘honor’ thingie. Their families and
quiet supporters‘enablers’ would be even more publicly embarassed and looked down than before, if not treated as complicit in their ‘crime’. It may increase the lasting damage on their lives.Imagine being a parent of a hanged ‘sexual deviant’ in Iraq. You aren’t even a failure, you created a monster. And you are, probs, a monster yourself. Lets add some mob justice to spice things up!
I have a pretty shakey understanding of their national mentality, but I think it is bigger and more dangerous than a kek on them, silly undoers of the Big Gay in one stroke of a pen.
In other news, Ron DeSantis seen taking notes while learning of this development.
Ronald, not Ron. No nicknames in Florida until he gets a signed form from his mom permitting him to use Ron.
They can’t seem to think about anything else than sex and homosexuality. Must be exhausting.
If you don’t say it, they don’t exist.
Ah so they are just close friends
THAT’S what will fix our country! That was the missing piece! It’s all rainbo… I mean, prosperity from here on in. /s
Backward degenerates.

How closeted can you be… They kiss each other in the cheek, sometimes lips, but using a word is too much?
That’s not really closeted. For them that’s just a greeting.
Its like telling a football player that slapping another dude’s ass in tights is gay. (Not to mention chasing other dudes in said tights…)
Just a different culture.
It’s still a very closeted and homophobic culture, but that’s not why.
I see what you’re saying, but football gay as hell
Yes, I was that nerd at the state fair cheering for the robotics teams the first time the held state finals at the fair… even though I don’t have a kid, or know any of them.
I wish I had that when I was in school. Give me battlebots any day of the week.
Still sounds pretty gay to me and I’m not even a guy
