IRAN EXECUTES TWO GAY TEENAGERS

Two gay teenage youths -- one 18, the other believed to be 16 or 17 -- were hanged this week for the "crime" of homosexuality in the Iranian city of Mashhad, according to a report by the Iranian Student News Agency which was translated from Farsi by the British gay rights group OutRage! and released in London today, along with photos of the teens' execution.
