Calling for the Iraqi government to do more to protect gay men, the Human Rights Watch has released a 67-page report documenting the accounts of gay men – and men who are not 'manly' enough - who were kidnapped, tortured and/or raped by militia groups. "Hundreds" are believed to have been killed for being gay or suspected of being gay.

I'm a relationship oriented guy. Versatile, HIV-, no drugs, no drama. Love to laugh. Live right on a lake and enjoy the water. Love to explore, and the DC area has lots of interesting things to see and do. Looking for a decent looking guy, 24 - 39, whose mind is working, has a decent sense of humor and some adventure in him. Someone who says what he means and means what he says.
