Iran is a polarized country where millions of people support different ideas. One main problem is that almost all political factions (regime supporters, reformists, the opposition) insist that they're the only Iranians and everyone else is somehow fake.

I'm a queer person living in Iran. I'm closeted because I'm afraid of the bigotry. Believe it or not, I still don't want to be bombed, and have my neighborhoods leveled to the ground. Bombings don't cure bigotry, believe it or not.

This is the double repression of queer people in Muslim majority cultures. Not only our basic rights are denied, we're equated with imperialism. In fact, this is just a rewording of all dehumanizing discourses. Imperialism is just a word meant to make it less objectionable.
