This is why I didn't report on those protests against Iran's supposed torture and murder of gays

Correction: I earlier wrote that the story of Zach, the kid who was forced into the ex-gay camp, was not true. Zach's story is true - I accidentally mixed that story up with the story of the kid who claimed he was expelled for making a gay movie in high school - that last story is the one that wasn't totally true.

Because it ain't necessarily true. (This article is written by the director of Human Rights Watch's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Project.) You just can't jump on things because they scare and infuriate you IF TRUE. You need to establish some level of certainty before you go off and do the public relations equivalent of invading another country searching for Murder of Mass Homosexuals. As we found out last year with that supposed kid being kicked out of school for making the 'gay movie,' it was a great story, but just not true. Yes he made the movie, but he was never expelled.
