ISIS Throws Gay Men Off Roof


ISIS posted photos, dated March 2015, showing "a large crowd, mostly men, but also among them a handful of women and children, all looking up" and "Three men on top of a building, faces covered in black balaclavas, stand on either side of their victim, while a fourth seems to be taking a photo or video." A final photo shows a man laying face down on the ground with a small group around him holding weapons, and even stones. Men are being killed just because they are accused of being gay. 

Although this is a bit extreme, we see cases of homophobia constantly throughout any country or group. Some people just don't approve, and that's their right, just as gay people should have rights. If governments start giving gay people more rights, will people stop being so vicious towards them?

I personally think this is really messed up. People are people, they don't choose to be how they are. It's no longer socially acceptable to shame people of color, so why are we shaming people of the rainbow? We're all different, and that's perfectly okay. Don't hate people for things they can't control. People are people, no matter what.
