The country will imprison or publicly flog 60 other suspected homosexuals.

They shouldn’t give the GOP any more ideas
The GOP surely inspired some part of this.
This is very unfortunate.
But surely this is because Arabs are inherently savage and backwards, and has nothing to do with all the wars and bombs that created the worse humanitarian crisis of the century. (sarcasm)
the worse humanitarian crisis of the century
Comparing tragedies doesn’t really make sense but you should look up the Tigray Way before making that claim
Here’s a source for the claim if you’re interested. Google will reveal mods.
That’s some serious triple summersault mental gymnastics to defend the Houthis. Might as well go back and start with the cooling of the earth 4 billion years ago if you really want to know the culprit.
Are there any reputable journalistic sources that are reporting on it as well?
All the sources that I can find are Jerusalem Post, Amnesty International, QNews, and the like.
It’s weird that AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, etc. are all silent when this is pretty big news if true.
Oh suddenly we hear about this what a coincidence. I’m incredibly queer and I do not think genocide is ever justified nor is retaliation to economically hindering genocide.
Did you know if you genocide a population, the queer people in that population die horrifically too?
Essentially, fuck all you commenters, don’t fucking use our identity to justify your evil when the reality is that you feel bad for going on gay bashing runs in the 90s. You weren’t a good person then and you aren’t a good person now that you diverted your hatred.
Every queer i know online and offline stands with Palestine. No more fucking death. No more videos of kids being executed to end up on my feed.
It’s really extreme to look the other way when members of your own group are being killed in horrific ways just so that you can continue to be a part of a fascist cause.
I mean looking the other way when Jews are murdered is kinda par for the course for fascists. But with most people there’s a realization when people of their own group are getting brutally murdered.
It’s also a crazy disconnect from reality when you think reporting on something that is actually happening is a coincidence. Or do you think Amnesty International is part of some international Jewish conspiracy that the antisemitic types go on and on about?
No more videos of kids being executed to end up on my feed.
Maybe you should make adjustments to your feed. It seems to be having a psychological impact on you. This may be the intention of those that are putting these things on your feed. I mean you’ve gotten to the point where you’re looking the other way about the brutality occurring in Yemen because it doesn’t fit the narrative you want, why do you feel it’s important to not look the other way on the brutality of war? What’s the criteria you’re using to determine which horrific acts you look the other way on?
Seems you’re choosing to only look at some brutality to maintain a simple narrative to keep yourself angry.
Do you think that your concern trolling is going to help the general atmosphere of trusting others with mental health, or did you just really want to win an argumentative point?
All official death toll numbers make it clear which is the fascist government (not people, government). There’s a local suburb near me known for gay hate murders, would you say that the government should bomb it?
Or I’ll put it even simpler Queers, Jewish people, Palestinians, Yemenis, Houthis, White people, Prisoners, Civilians and Soldiers and all other human beings all have equal value in their lives and if you can’t account for that in your argument then that’s a bias. If you disagree then frankly you can go fuck yourself until you become a better person. That’s what I believe, why don’t you?
The Houthis have NOTHING TO DO WITH PALESTINE. What are you guys on? They are randomly disrupting trade routes in the red sea for political clout and nothing more. Just because they claim it’s to help their Palestinian allies does not give them any agency. That would be like Spain randomly attacking fleets in the Mediterranean to support Ukraine.
Some people just need to vent even though their worldview is based on a faulty foundation

Ah yes, because Houthis stopped a single ship with arms headed to Israel.
They haven’t. The arms for them don’t even go through there.
You know what does? International shipping. Something the whole world, mainly weak import economies who NEED this stuff in the ships
seconding as a trans person. everyone i know supports palestine to the hilt. you cannot change the situation on the ground for lgbt people in yemen with war and bombs.
This is not about that. This is about Houthi’s sentencing people to crucification and other extreme forms of punishment.
They will bring this form of punishment wherever they go.
But you can overlook this if you so choose in order to make your political point regarding a different subject.
So, you get to decide why people find this abhorrent. And then because of the strawman you handed all these people you then clutch your pearls and call them impure.
But I’m sure the prosecuted people sentenced to an objectively evil form of punishment will be glad you are able to see past that because the purpetrators of these evil deeds support a cause you think is more valuable than their lives.
With friends like you…
But you go ahead, support your cause, alienate people because they are not pure enough. But don’t wonder why the silent majority stays silent. They fear being targeted for not being pure enough for the likes of you and singled out for a struggle session.
Edit, the reason for the punishment is bad enough, the form of punishment combined with the reason causes me to root for more action against the Houthi’s.
It looks like our identity is only useful to them for warmongering. God forbid we get healthcare, workplace protections, anything. Instead all we see are our names used to inspire wars we want no part in against countries where our governments literally fund their reactionary parties.
It’s a self-fulfilling cycle, they use us as the symbols and the reason for their destruction and then the orphans left behind mistake their enemy as queer people around the planet and then the West uses us as their casus belli again until they’ve killed every last one. They will never give them a chance to progress socially because the goal is total genocide.
Fuck every warhawk in this comment section using us as their excuse for POINTLESS FUCKING WARS.

Hey, as one of those people who used slurs in the past, I’m sorry. I wasn’t a good person, I followed the crowd. I’m trying hard to be a better person. You don’t have to accept me or my apology. I just want to put it out there. Sorry you and your community was hurt by people like me.
This is big of you. Props on growing as a person and admitting fault. We should always welcome new allies in the fight for equality.
It sounds to me like you’re a good person. The people they’re talking about are the ones who may have stopped hating, say, gay people – but who have redirected their bigotry toward other marginalized groups like trans people or Palestinians.
In my opinion, there’s effectively no such thing as a good or bad person – it’s the words and actions that count. No matter what you’ve done in the past, that’s over now.
This! One of the most disgusting trends I’ve seen are people misappropriating queer symbology to try to queerwash their genocide of Palestinians. They don’t care about us anymore than they care about the children they’re murdering.
You really think the Houthis care about Palestine??? Because they told you that’s why they are attacking random trade vessels in the red sea?
Quote me saying that. I didn’t.
Nice bait, though. Someone who’s not paying attention to the conversation might have been fooled by it.
Wow, sounds like a Christian utopia.
The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:
A Houthi court in Dhamar, Yemen, has sentenced nine people to death on homosexuality charges, according to Amnesty International.
Checking Amnesty International:
Yemen: Huthis must stop executions and release dozens facing LGBTI charges On 23 January, the criminal court in Dhamar in northern Yemen sentenced nine individuals to death – with seven sentenced to be executed by stoning, and two by crucifixion – while 23 others were handed prison sentences between six months and 10 years on charges including “homosexuality”, “spreading immorality”, and “immoral acts”. On 1 February, the court of first instance in Ibb in southern Yemen handed death sentences to 13 students and flogging to three others on charges of ‘spreading homosexuality’.
But without any sources
The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:
“Additionally, a Houthi court in Ibb, Yemen, sentenced 13 students to death and three others to flogging for “spreading homosexuality,” according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).”
When you follow the link it leads to L´OrienteToday, and there are no sources in this web page
Looked in AFP site: NOTHING
The article in www.lgbtnation.com puts an image, if you read the caption it says:
Image released by ISIS showing citizens of Kirkuk stoning the lifeless body of a man executed for being gay.
Kirkuk is in Irak, and ISIS is known for doing this things, but it is not related to the “new”. Where are Yemen images?
Given that the Houtis are kicking the ass of USA and UK´s Navy these “news” are too convenient. Saudi Arab and UAE used to do this and no news about it, suddenly this “news” about Yemen.
I do not buy it.

If you want to know why I’m an atheist.
What kind of entity has 3 different sects of people who all believe this is what it wants?
Religion is a cancer.
You can treat cancer, religion is a parasite that needs to be wiped off the face of the planet.
Enthusiastic upvote
You can treat cancer but you cannot get rid of it completely. Even treated, cancer is still cancer and could still potentially kill you. Unless, you are able to completely remove it’s existence.
Re-read your comment.
Don’t blame the structure for the monsters that abuse it.
You mean the structure that’s completely monster-made?
With all the respect i can muster, you are the one misunderstanding religion’s purpose.
They are not.
If organized religion ever helps humanity at all it is through the good people it inspires to help, the good part of humanity it brings out. The people who focus on that aspect of its tenets would always be good.
But the book(s) and the men who wrote them are as full of power and venom as any other book, and the very idea that one is special by birth is disgusting and small. It is a venal thought shared by the religious and nazis alike.
The cancer is organized religion. There is no bad apple within its core to root, it is itself the problem.
and while the world will never be rid of its mind stifling influence, i will never stop dreaming of the shining day we grow beyond it
The structure was built by monsters. This is the intended use of religion.
Atheists can hate gays too.
The Houthis aren’t the recognized government of Yemen.
They control a large part of the country, and the civil war there is currently in a ceasefire. And of course they’re also attacking shipping in the Red Sea with a back and forth going on with the navies in a coalition led by the US.
But let’s not give these assholes the legitimacy they want by considering them to be the government of Yemen.
So how would you word it differently? It seems that the article is portraying them as a strong power within the nation that is backed by Iran though.
The article’s headline is "Houthis in Yemen will publicly stone & crucify 9 gay men in “gruesome public spectacles”
This is fine. Though the subheader says “The country will imprison or publicly flog 60 other suspected homosexuals”. Should be using words like “the group” or “the faction” not “the country”.
Anyway, the link here is "Yemen will publicly stone & crucify 10 gay men in “gruesome public spectacles”
Not sure the reason for changing it from the headline of the article. Perhaps the linked article did have the same headline as here when OP posted it, and they changed it because of similar feedback I’m making here. Don’t know if OP can change it now. Anyway, it’s been noted in by my comment and other comments, so I guess it’s fine.
Such are the problems inherent in alternative media.
They are the legitimate government of Yemen. The decision is not up to you.
Crazy how suddenly all these accusations against Yemen without any evidence or sources are reaching the front page.
Can’t have anything to do with them opposing israel’s Genocide right?
Thanks for the report. Enough people are pushing back in the comments that I’m of a mind to leave this post up, despite the article being a garbage consent-manufacturing one. Imperialist pinkwashing is vile.

“Remember everyone we have to respect their beliefs…”
Religious freedom can eat my asshole. Abolish it all, especially Abrahamic religions.
It’s pretty easy to be a member of an Abrahamic religion and go your entire life without killing anyone.
Don’t blame the structure for the monsters that abuse it.
The only thing that stops them is secular law and punishment. They say this all the time. And while it may be possible to do so it is also improbable that they stop others who do. We have a wide variety of examples of this.
… again how is this different from any abuser who uses their position of authority to get away with horrific acts?
Because they formed a group and conspire to do it and export it to other regions.
The united States of America?
Hahaha… good one…(/s)
But he asked why this was worse.
You mean the structure that’s completely monster-made?
So freedom for all except who you decide isn’t worthy?
This is what manufacturing consent looks like. Reminds me a lot of 2001 and 2002 during the war on Afghanistan and preparing for a war on Iraq.
The West’s media is running overdrive to demonize Yemenis.
Great now let’s marginalize another community, next will be blind or deaf? And tie it to another nations Americans aren’t supposed to support.
Well there you have it… there’s no way it will be possible to bomb them back to the stone Age.
I forget, aren’t we supposed to be cheering for the Houthis? I thought that was the new cool thing to be doing.
Source?
Also, presumably they’re more concerned about a growing conflagration in the Middle East rather than Houthis in particular dying…
How does a small group doing a thing constitute it being the “new cool thing to be doing?”
Support them fighting for Palestinian cause: Yes
Support houthis persecuring LGBT: No
Excuse me but “Supporting Palestinian cause”!? They are attacking random trade ships in order to grow political clout and nothing more. Thats like saying because Russia is attacking Ukraine Italy gets to go attack random trade vessels in the Mediterranean. You guys are unable to think beyond headlines.
They are attacking random trade ships in order to grow political clout and nothing more

A particularly group being right on one issue and wrong on another seems too hard for certain people to grasp.
I guess I’ve never been able to figure out which group of Iranian-backed terrorists are the good guys.
When you support the Houthis you support the stoning of homosexuals.
The USA and Saudi Arabia have killed vastly more LGBT Yemenis than the Houthis have.
No.
And if you say it again it’ll still be wrong.
When you support the Houthis you support the stoning of homosexuals.
Oh wow, this really woke me up! I actually don’t support the stoning of homosexuals, I’m not a fucking barbarian.
What I support is the bombing of homosexuals so that’s why I support Joe Biden. For bombing Yemeni homosexuals to death, along with Yemeni women and children and Yemeni everyone else. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to the truth.
