Ahmadinejad speaks; outrage and controversy follow

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday challenged the audience at Columbia University to look into "who was truly involved" in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, defended his right to question established Holocaust history and denied there were gay Iranians.

This is absolutely ridiculous, considering that Iran has been known to execute gay Iranians... therefore they must exist, whether or not Ahmadinejad wants to acknowledge them or simply cast shadows over their existence. Unfortunately, Iran is one of the most oppressive regimes when it comes to gay rights, and homosexuality is illegal.
