Social networks in Iran have been flooded with compromising footage featuring several known ultra-conservative officials engaging in homosexual activities. While homosexuality is punishable by death in Iran, the Iranian regime has attempted to deny the videos and cover up the scandals.

I don’t think it’s worth concern at all. These people chose to pass horrific laws that attach extreme consequences to normal actions knowing full well that they themselves partake in those same activities. To say they deserve it because they “asked for it” is an understatement; they actually made it a legal requirement for themselves to be put to death.
