Our government is full of trash and completely out of control. I mean who would go into another country (especially an Islamic one) and pull something like this? This is insane.

Pakistanis slam gay rights event

After repeated violation of Pakistani air space, covert activities and military intervention, the US Embassy in Islamabad has arranged the first ever “Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Pride Celebration” ceremony and assured Washington's support to the participants.

In response, all Islamic groups condemned this meeting as “social and cultural terrorism" against the Islamic democratic Pakistan.

These students are gathered here to protest against what they say is the US attempts to promote vulgarity in Islamic societies under the pretext of human rights.

The U.S. deputy ambassador, Richard Hoagland, who hosted the meeting was quoted in a statement on the US embassy website "I want to be clear the US embassy is here to support you and stand by your side every step of the way".

Protestors demanded from the Pakistani government to arrest the participants under the country's laws and said the meeting was tantamount to stabbing the Muslim civilization in the chest. They urge Pakistan telecommunication authority (PTA) to ban Pakistani gay's websites.

Demonstrators urged Pakistani government to stop US meddling in Pakistan. Homosexual acts are illegal in Pakistan and punishable by a fine and imprisonment for a period of two years, but under Islamic laws in Pakistan, homosexual acts are punishable by whipping, imprisonment or death.

Wow. They're really taunting Pakistan to attack us. Killing their soldiers, drones buzzing around all over the place, gay pride celebrations?

They're seriously pushing for gay support for the wars. I'd say that's a strange tactic, but Hillary's claim that we're bombing Afghanistan to save the women and children didn't garner all that much support--so they're going all out. After all, they were generous enough to permit the gays to be un-closeted cannon fodder--now the gays better get behind the coming wars with the entire Middle East.

Thanks for posting this, this happened a few months back in July.

Pakistan doesn't need gay rights help from America or any other foreign country.

Pakistan Transgender Voting Rights Approved (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/15/pakistan-transgender-vote-rights_n_1095991.html)


Pakistan allows transsexuals to have own gender category (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13192077)

Gay Pakistan - 'less inhibited than West' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4583911.stm)


It will surprise many when I say that I actually feel more comfortable about myself while living here than I was in the West.

It was not always so of course. Before my return, I felt quite aggrieved when my straight brother downplayed my apprehensions about being gay in Pakistan.

I cannot remember a single occasion in almost 10 years that I have felt threatened with regards to my sexuality in Pakistan

It really was not a problem, he suggested. How insensitive and naive of him, I thought.

My brother has won the point since though. While I maintain discretion in many respects, I have come out to most of my family, with their loving support.

I have also come out to all my friends, and rarely meet anyone aggressively hostile to gay individuals.

I have lived with a lover independently without anyone raising an eyebrow.

I have attended gay parties more uninhibited than any I have seen in the West.

Have you heard about the Pakistani gay porn movie? It's titled "Pack-a-Stan".
