By So does anyone think the gay rights lobby will be protesting this any time soon?:
It has been reported that North Korea executed homosexuals, believing that they are influenced by capitalism.
“The North government publicly executed two lesbians for being tinged with capitalism not for demoralization,” Free North Korea Radio (http://www.fnkradio.com/) reported on Wednesday. [via the Marmot's Hole]
We will probably not hear much about this from the gay rights groups because they are busy with the more important business of getting transexuals and crossdressers into the US military.

Well, North Korea executes everyone who isn’t related to Kim Jong-il, either with a bullet behind the head, in a “car accident”, or slowly through starvation.

…and even those who are related to Kim Jong-il aren’t perfectly safe.

Apples and oranges.
American gay rights activists want to effect change in America because (a) it affects them much more directly and (b) they know perfectly well that with North Korea, unlike many other countries in the world, there ain’t a danged thing they can do about anything.

What a tangled world we live in.
Gays HATE trannies and trannies HATE crossdressers and crossdressers aren’t gay… but it’s everyone against the breeders.
Anyway, one would think lesbianism would be encouraged in North Korea…
…as, with a lack of food, at least they have something to eat.

Is that really news? That’s what primitive, repressive governments do. They probably let most of their people with disabilities die too. Do we really want to start comparing them with us?

You’re right. Absolutely right. American gays can’t demand equality in the US until they demand N. Korea stop executing gays. I mean it would be unfair for the US to treat gays as full citizens if N. Korea doesn’t.
The same is true about members of the US military. They can’t expect to have pay increases or maintain 20 years and out retirement benefits as long as South Korean soldiers aren’t paid more than $100 a year. I mean, where’s that soldierly solidarity. And really, if S. Koreans can do it for $100, why do American soldiers have to be so greedy.
I wonder if you tell your wife/girlfriend, “Cook dinner and wash the dishes, b*tch. Because women in Afghanistan where burkas, and until that sh*t stops, you gotta do the housework.” Because that’s the same message your pushing. And it’s a dumb message.

In a way it is surprising that leftist have jumped on the “gay” rights bandwagon since Karl Marx believed that homosexuality was caused from the stresses & “contradictions” of capitalism. In another way since Marx wanted to destroy the family (my source for this is the Communist Manifesto) since the family to him was a representation of capitalist society, it is not surprising. I’ve read that Kim Jong-Il has arranged for Thai prostitutes to be brought to NK to entertain his generals & party hacks. Maybe if they were to watch some good girl on girl action they might change their minds, I know that wont happen. Chickenhead, your remarks about the lesbians is f’ing hilarious as always.

This is an awfully extreme way to deal with mental health problems. But the argument could be made that at least they are not pretending homosexuals are normal, well adjusted people.

#9,
…or so says the guy whose belief in something despite the empirical evidence to the contrary borders on the pathological.

“Maybe if they were to watch some good girl on girl action they might change their minds, I know that wont happen. ”
What makes you think they aren’t enjoying such entertainment? Dictators do as they please and hold others to a different set of standards.

10: So you’re telling me queers should be shot? That is awfully extreme.

Chris, maybe the Koolaid Drinker thinks gays in the US should be treated like the Iranians treat theirs?
Nork gays are executed for treason because the government has already said there are no gays in North Korea…
