Why There are 'No Gays' in Tehran

It could be because they're all getting strung up. Then again, it could be because they're getting changed into chicks, as the Toronto Star reports:

Sex changes have been legal in Iran since Ayatollah Khomeini, spiritual leader of the 1979 Iranian revolution, passed a religious edict 25 years ago authorizing the operations for “diagnosed transsexuals.”

Doctors in Tehran, often called the sex-change capital of the world, perform gender-reassignment surgeries in unprecedented numbers. The Iranian government promotes and even subsidizes the operations, which help people define themselves as a man or a woman.

Tehran the sex-change capital of the world? Who knew? Of course, once you change into a chick, you have you dress accordingly.
