Lesbian Persecusion

Are Lesbian still being persecuted ?

Did you hear last week in the news about the Lesbian who says her own family, ashamed (I think we can all relate to that), they pummeled her and held her down while a stranger raped her. I, obviously find this disturbing on all levels. Did the family think this would somehow purify her or make her want to be with a man? They used sex with a man as punishment to her. And this was to make her stop wanting to love women.

If we can let our men and women go to war to protect Iraq and all the issues surrounding that, in the name of helping these people than their should not be a doubt in the mind of US agencies to bring this women out of the arms of her “loving family”.

I suppose this is all progress and bringing more light into the darkest of places, I just find it deeply disturbing and wish I could help her. I try very hard to not let anger and hate rise in me over people such as her family.
