    A medical student from Iraq has opened up about how his parents were willing for him to be killed because he is gay.

    Taim, a 24-year-old who only survived by fleeing Iraq for the Lebanon, opened up in a candid interview with the BBC, saying his father threatened to turn him over to ISIS, and that if he had not fled, members of his family would have killed him themselves.

    This doesn't surprise me. I'd be absolutely horrified living in the Middle East.

    Fuck his father. I hope his father feels the same pain and suffering he put his son through and realizes just how much of a waste of space and oxygen he was. Same with his uncles. I'm just glad his mother was there for him, and I hope he's able to recover and live a good life from here on out.

    What sort of parents give their children to terrorist organizations, so they can kill them... and only because an ancient book says so?
    Their vile stupidity is just abhorred!

    If I were this "god" everyone loves so much, you'd be damn sure people like that would be swimming in the Earth's molten core by now.

    I know someone in the USA that fears being killed by her family if they discover that she is a lesbian. Honor killings have been going on way before ISIS existed, and not just for being gay either.
