Iran’s Government Is Worried that Its People Are Having the Wrong Kind of Sex | VICE News
A recent Iranian parliamentary report has presented a candid
illustration of the sexual practices of the Islamic Republic's youth —
so candid that it was quickly withdrawn from a government website.
The Iranian Parliament's legal research wing published the document, a copy of which VICE News obtained.
Using data from several studies that surveyed some 142,000 Iranian
students over the past decade, it found that 80 percent of unmarried
females acknowledged being in relationships with members of the opposite
sex, while 17 percent of all respondents identified as homosexual.
Being in a pre-marital romantic relationship and being homosexual are
both illegal in Iran.
