Obama hires queers for Biden

Iraq’s parliament continued to criminalize queer people on Saturday by
passing a bill that makes same-sex relations punishable by up to 15
years in prison, furthering its extreme anti-LGBTQ+ legislation of
recent years. The bill, which targets queer relationships on the basis
of clamping down on “moral depravity,” also criminalizes transgender
people and the health workers who care for them. It threatens to
imprison for one to three years anyone who seeks “biological sex change
based on personal desire and inclination” as well as the doctors who
perform their surgeries. The bill has drawn explicit condemnation from
human rights groups, who have warned for years about Iraq’s policies
targeting LGBTQ+ people. “Iraq has effectively codified in law the
discrimination and violence members of the LGBTI community have been
subjected to with absolute impunity for years,” Amnesty International’s
Iraq researcher, Razaw Salihy, told The Guardian. “The amendments
concerning LGBTI rights are a violation of fundamental human rights and
put at risk Iraqis whose lives are already hounded daily.”
Queers have the same rights as any other criminal deviants.
