Ahmadinejad’s Spokesman Offers Apologetic Clarification Over Controversial “Gay” Remarks
October 12, 2007 by pulkit
If the official spokesperson of Ahmadinejad is to be believed then his President was a victim of misinterpretation, when his comments over homosexuals in the U.S. were misunderstood. His official mouthpiece clarified that Ahmadinejad did not mean that there were no homosexuals in Iran, but that there were very few of them.
The victim-of-misinterpretation excuse does not seem all that plausible because Ahmadinejad’s sarcastic, saturnine laughter, when he made these comments, was too flagrant to be misinterpreted.
“What Ahmadinejad said was not a political answer. He said that, compared to American society, we don’t have many homosexuals,” presidential media adviser Mohammad Kalhor said. [source]
