    There's a lot more discrimination, violence, and execution of just sexual minorities in Iran. Not like anyone's going to do anything about it though.

    Agh, this really frustrates me.

    Sucks that we can't do anything about it right now :/

    Like what?

    We can barely stop countries from creating nuclear weapons. I hardly think we can get the US to care enough about gay rights in a foreign country when we don't care about gay rights in our own country.

    Oh, it just involves actually doing something. You know, like we should've done to prevent Rwanda and Darfur. And by we, I mean like, humans, not just America.

    But if we can't prevent the mass genocide of entire groups of people, something like this is not going to stop for a long time.

    That's exactly what I mean. Sadly, there isn't much we can do right now.

    Thats why it frustrates me so much. Shit can't be done and people keep on living with fear until we figure something out.
