Iran is an Islamic republic and condemns homosexuality, yet their secret police are raping men all the time??

A lot of it is psychological warfare in the sense that they emasculate the men and make them more "woman" like, thus weaker, by raping them. If you do some Googling, you will find this is very common in this culture. An example: Gaddafi was raped with a baton when he was captured by his captors.

I remembered the reports saying that a baton was hanging out of his clothing, but I checked back, and you are correct. Those are images I can't unsee.

In a lot of cultures around the world and throughout history you're not gay if you're the one doing the penetrating.

This kinda applies in Iran as well, the penetrating person gets prison or in some cases lashings according to law while the penetratee gets a death penalty. Of course this is the official law, there is alot of stuff that gets "officially " thrown under the rug like this post.

Yeah I didnt know what the mindset in Iran was so I didn't want to assume and just stuck to the general claim that I was sure of, but I suspected it would be that way.

It’s illegal to be gay in Iran. They have forced sex changes instead.
