This came out of his mouth during his speech at Columbia University on Monday:
"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country. We don't have that like in your country. In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who's told you that we have this."
What a total Loser-Moron. Ugh. So annoying.
During his speech, he kept emphasizing the need for greater academic research (initially in response to the Holocaust question, but it was a theme.) So when he said the bit about homosexuals above, my friend blurted out "MORE RESEARCH" and about 20 people in the section went off on a giggle-bout. It was very entertaining.
AH.com: That's awesome! :-)

Posted by: Here Kitty Kitty at September 26, 2007 4:16 PMi heard he was mis-translated. what he was trying to say was iran does not have the same homosexual community as the u.s.a. and that there is not the same movement for homosexual rights. i don't think he meant there were no homosexuals in iran... but i don't know.
