I'm not a sentimental freak, but this picture and the circumstances under which it was taken had me bawling like an infant. :(

Two teenage boys being hanged in public for consensual gay sex with each other. This happened in the year 2005, and it's still happening.

This sort of story makes me so sad I usually avoid reading all about it.

For lesbian and gay people who live in one of the 82 countries where homosexuality is criminalised...
