TEHRAN, IRAN - In an effort to make the Islamic Republic of Iran a more progressive and socially accepting state, the Iranian government has announced that it will indefinitely halt the routine executions of homosexuals within its borders and even legally recognize gay marriage, which signifies a dramatic shift in national policy.

The announcement came early yesterday morning in the wake of the massive amount of money given to the nation of Iran by the United States. It is speculated that the recent change of heart is a direct result of the Obama administration's friendly attitude towards Iran.

The announcement came as a shock to many, especially the human rights activists in the United States who had previously written off Iran as an enemy of the LGBT movement. But now that the Iranian government has made an official stance against the public hanging of its homosexual citizens, recognizing it as a violation of human rights, the LGBT community has opened the doors to the possibility of labeling the Islamic nation as an ally to the movement.

The Iranian government has also announced that in the coming months it will release incarcerated LGBT prisoners it had previously rounded up, as soon as the authorities finish processing the extensive paperwork and, in some cases, determine the amount of financial compensation to the former inmates. The release of the massive number of prisoners arrested for their homosexuality will be a monumental bureaucratic task, but one "worthwhile" in the words of Iranian government officials.

Many Middle East experts attribute the sudden shift in policy to over a hundred billion dollars given to Iran by the Obama administration, speculating that the well-meaning and open-handed U.S. policy has changed Iran's disposition towards the progressive and humanitarian treatment of the LGBT community, making it more aligned with one adopted in the United States in recent decades.

As Iran is changing its policies regarding homosexuality within its borders, many international LGBT organizations and donors have already expressed their readiness to assist in any way possible to help the newly released prisoners in rebuilding their lives and preparing them for a bright future in the Middle East.

Komrade. I do not think this is the way to progress. Perhaps we should look for alternate, far more equal ways to distribute our equality-equalness?

Your attention please:

Word is spreading within the LGBT community; Iran will soon become the mecca of diversity and tolerance once dreamed of by marginalized outcasts here in the USSA. A new dawn awaits our LGBT comrades - don't miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime. Hurry, apply for your passport before it's too late!

Red Square, the cartoon you've shown us reminded me of the time of the Glorious Revolution in Cuba when Fidel told Raul to stop shooting so many people because the bloodshed was upsetting the reporters and Raul stopped the bloodshed by hanging the vile dissidents.

BREAKING: Speculation has come out of Stierlitz's brain that Daesh is running out of goats and requires willing participants for "social activities".
