Iran survey finds huge gay population

It would seem that former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a little off when he declared that there were no homosexuals in his country. This mindset stems from Iranian’s strong religious leadership, which bans premarital sex and condemns homosexuals to death. Contrary to religious beliefs, survey results derived from over 140,000 Iranian students showed 80% of the females had boyfriends (who they likely have sex with), and 17% identified themselves as homosexual.

Assuming the survey is even somewhat accurate, when compared to the recent survey done in America showing 1.6% of the population identifies as LGB, Iran has a much larger gay population than they’re willing to admit: according to The Economist, most Iranian media has yet to cover these statistics.
