Iran's First GAY Movie?

That's GAY as in two men in a relationship, not pejorative GAY.

No? Well according to an Iranian clergyman is fair screams GAY (as in two men doing the wild thing together).

"Shish va Pish" is a new comedy featuring two top-selling Iranian actors and it has caused widespread controversy.

It's about two young male friends who want to strike it rich through 'wild' - and illegal - activities, like 'western-style' parties involving alcohol. All very taboo in Iran. Although the two actors are introduced as friends - and not gay partners - in the movie, their body gestures, show of emotions for each other, and constant physical contact have been interpreted by some of the audience as two men in a GAY relationship.
