A Documentary

On the screen, a gay man who has been forced to have a sex-change operation, tells of how he now sells himself in the streets of Tehran, by entering into "trial marriages" sanctioned by the Sharia (all women who for one reason or another can't reproduce may enter into such marriages). One marriage an hour, all legal (is this truly possible? Must research).

In the darkness of a classroom-turned-projection room, by a frozen fjord in Norway, a teenaged Danish girl begins to cry.

Egad…
However, being it is yet another malformed and perverse strident religiosity that you are writing about, anything is possible.

Let’s hope it is not true and brace ourselves for the possibility that such horrors are true.

I am someone who also misses Ric and knows not where he vanished to.
