During my Sunday morning news reading session I found this disturbing news: Iraqi gay leader gunned down by militias. According to this article, Bashar, a gay activist in Iraq, has been gunned down by a brigade of some militia. Not that this wouldn't be sad enough, it gets a bit disturbing later on in the article:

"Since then [2005], LGBT people have been specifically targeted by the Madhi Army, the militia of fundamentalist Shia cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, as well as by the Badr organisation and other Shia death squads. "Badr is the military arm of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, which is one of the leading political forces in Baghdad's western-backed ruling coalition," said Mr Hili.
