In Iraq, the gays are missing Saddam. Under the dictator’s rule, they could live openly, if discreetly.  But as you may have heard, death squads that answer to militant Muslim leaders and have assumed control over large parts of the country, including many Baghdad neighborhoods. The squads track gay people down and shoot them point-blank without impunity, and the police often play along.

Now, an ‘underground railroad‘ of safe houses and escape routes is the only hope for gay Iraqis suffering under the tyranny of fundamentalist Islam. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we’ll take crazy Christians over crazy Muslims any day.

Elsewhere in the gay globe… In Moscow, gay pride organizers have filed a complaint against Dmitry Medvedev at the European Court of Human Rights. For each of the past three years, the Moscow mayor has prevented gays from dancing shirtless in tacky underwear on the streets because gays are “satanic” and a pride parade “would spread AIDS.”

And in London, a radioactive pedophile skipped his court date and is on the run.
