If you missed it, cult leader Moqtada al-Sadr has (again) declared war on Iraq's LGBTQ community.
Iraqi Parliament Speaker Al-Halbousi saying that Iraq will not legislate a law against the LGBT because Iraqi already has traditions and customs that reject this subject; T.V. presenter: Will we see a law banning homosexuality based on Sayyid Al-Sadr's wish soon? pic.twitter.com/vdKiT5uTds
