Default No gays in Iran

Well, there you have it folks. They don't abuse homosexuals in Iran because they just don't have any:

Quote:
Asked about widely documented government abuse of women and homosexuals in his country, Ahmadinejad said, "We don't have homosexuals" in Iran. "I don't know who told you we had it," he said.

He also repeatedly said that women have freedoms in Iran and refused to comment on reports that their freedom is severely constrained.
Of course, he never said why they don't have any gays...

This gives him lots of credibility on the women's rights issue, eh?
